Memories of Migration Episode Two: Paperwork

For our second episode, we consider paperwork: the relationship between documents and the day-to-day. Before beginning the podcast, we’d been listening to stories in our archives of applying for visas, school enrollment, and work authorization. We began to think about how these documents become part of migration, and of deciding who goes where. We put this episode together to give thought to the different administrative processes instituted in coming to the U.S., and to the bureaucracy involved in staying. While we listen, we want to reflect on how files and forms regulate movement and daily life. Learn more about Queens Memory at
