Caitlyn Yates is a PhD student in Socio-Cultural Anthropology at the University of British Columbia. My research focuses on the journeys of migrants from the African and Asian continents who transit in and through Latin America. In particular, I focus on human security, transit migration, extra-continental migration, migrant smuggling, and borders in Latin America. Currently, I am a fellow in the Central America and Mexico Policy Initiative (CAMPI) at the Robert Strauss Center for International Security and Law and an affiliate of UBC’s Centre for Migration Studies. I hold a BA in Anthropology from Trinity University and a Master of Global Policy from the LBJ School of Public Affairs at the University of Texas at Austin.
