Hatim Rachdi

Hatim Rachdi is a PhD student in Anthropology and Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies at Yale University. His research explores how gender/sexuality, indigeneity, and expressive cultures come to matter under conditions of displacement and structural violence. Working across Europe, North Africa, and the U.S. he examines how queer and racialized migrants from the Middle East and North Africa navigate EU asylum systems, housing precarity, and digital infrastructures of care. His current project traces Amazigh cultural and political life in Morocco and its diasporas, bridging feminist ethnography, migration studies, and trans-Atlantic indigenous critique.
