9875539CohenThis project involves the research and teaching of a young cultural anthropologist from Texas A&M university. Under NSF's CAREER program, the researcher will define the history of transnational migration between the United States and Oaxaca, Mexico and describe the economic and social factors driving the rapid growth of transnational migration. The role of remittance investment in the increase of socioeconomic inequality in the sending communities will be studied. The methods used will consist of participant observation, formal survey questionnaires of 100 households in each village, and in-depth interviews in a sample of six villages in the Oaxaca valley. Additional information will be obtained from local archives and museums. The research will be combined with education by involving students in an innovative graduate and advanced undergraduate training program. Bilingual Hispanic students will be recruited and mentored as they learn how to conduct ethnographic fieldwork from faculty drawn from both US and Mexican social science research institutions. The total program will involve two years of course-work, one summer of field-work, and a thesis. This project is important because it will advance our understanding of transnational migration and the impact of remittances on the most important sub-population in the US; it will educate and mentor young Hispanic students in advanced social science; and will support the career of a young researcher-educator.

9875539 Cohen这个项目涉及德克萨斯A M大学的一位年轻的文化人类学家的研究和教学。 根据NSF的职业计划，研究人员将定义美国和墨西哥瓦哈卡之间的跨国移民历史，并描述推动跨国移民快速增长的经济和社会因素。 将研究汇款投资在汇款社区社会经济不平等加剧方面的作用。 所采用的方法将包括参与观察、对每个村庄100户家庭的正式调查问卷以及对瓦哈卡山谷6个村庄的抽样深入访谈。 更多信息将从当地档案馆和博物馆获得。 这项研究将与教育相结合，让学生参与创新的研究生和高级本科生培训计划。 双语西班牙裔学生将被招募和指导，因为他们学习如何从来自美国和墨西哥社会科学研究机构的教师进行人种学实地考察。 整个计划将包括两年的课程，一个夏天的实地考察，和一篇论文。 这个项目很重要，因为它将促进我们对跨国移民和汇款对美国最重要的亚人口的影响的理解;它将教育和指导年轻的西班牙裔学生在先进的社会科学;并将支持一个年轻的研究人员的职业生涯教育。
