This project involves the dissertation research of an anthropology student at the Pennsylvania State University. The project involves changes in gender roles within the family as a result of international migration. The student will investigate traditional gender roles in a rural community in Bangladesh, and also among a sample of Bangladeshi immigrants in New York City. The student will test hypotheses concerning traditional gender roles, social networks and their change in the new urban environment. Families with larger Bangladeshi social networks, and with adult women with no formal employment will be expected to maintain more traditional gender roles. The student will draw a random sample of families in New York and in a source community in Bangladesh, and will administer a formal measure of gender roles as well as do participant observation at public events and private household contexts. This research is important because modern means of transportation and communications facilitate rapid population movements between different societies. Advances in our understanding of the effects of migration on basic relationships in the family will help policy makers and planners cope with problems rising from a mismatch between traditional and contemporary forms of gender relations.

本项目涉及宾夕法尼亚州立大学一名人类学学生的论文研究。该项目涉及由于国际移徙而改变家庭中的性别角色。学生将调查孟加拉国农村社区的传统性别角色，以及纽约市的孟加拉国移民样本。学生将测试有关传统性别角色、社会网络及其在新的城市环境中的变化的假设。拥有更大的孟加拉社交网络的家庭，以及没有正式工作的成年妇女，将被期望保持更传统的性别角色。该学生将在纽约和孟加拉国的一个来源社区随机抽取家庭样本，并将对性别角色进行正式测量，并在公共活动和私人家庭环境中进行参与者观察。这项研究很重要，因为现代交通和通讯手段促进了不同社会之间人口的快速流动。我们对移徙对家庭基本关系的影响的理解的进步将有助于决策者和规划者处理由于传统形式和现代形式的性别关系不匹配而产生的问题。
