How do social and historical factors direct migration? This project, which trains a graduate student in methods of rigorous, empirical data collection and analysis, explores how migrants form and sustain communities through histories of connected movement. In tracking a South-South migration route, the researcher aims to ascertain the historical processes by which migrants are channeled into specific forms of labor in different places. In addition to providing funding for the training of a graduate student in anthropology in scientific methods of rigorous data collection and analysis, the project would improve scientific understanding by broadly disseminating its findings to organizations invested in formulating best practices for effective and sustainable migration policies.Anna Reumert, under the supervision of Dr. Naor Ben-Yehoyada of Columbia University will explore what factors influence the integration or marginalization of migrant workers across an understudied migration route in the Global South. Through fieldwork with an intergenerational Sudanese migrant community in Lebanon, the project explores the processes by which identities are formed, negotiated and contested through histories of migration. The project asks what new information the experiences of this migrant population can reveal about age, gender, ethnic, and other forms of cultural identity and hierarchy. The researcher will employ a range of ethnographic data collection and analytical methods such observational research at cultural sites, interviews with migrant workers, focus groups, and life histories, to map intergenerational communal networks. The project advances anthropological and other social scientific theory related to migration and labor.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

社会和历史因素如何引导移徙？该项目培训研究生严格的经验数据收集和分析方法，探索移民如何通过相互关联的运动历史形成和维持社区。在追踪南南移民路线的过程中，研究人员旨在确定移民在不同地方被引导到特定形式的劳动力的历史过程。该项目除了为培训一名人类学研究生提供资金，使其掌握严格收集和分析数据的科学方法外，还将通过向致力于制定有效和可持续移徙政策最佳做法的组织广泛传播其研究结果，提高科学认识。在哥伦比亚大学的Naor Ben-Yehoyada博士的指导下，将探讨哪些因素影响了全球南部一条研究不足的移民路线上的移民工人的融入或边缘化。该项目通过对黎巴嫩一个代际苏丹移民社区的实地考察，探讨了通过移民历史形成、谈判和争夺身份的过程。该项目询问这些移民人口的经历可以揭示关于年龄，性别，种族和其他形式的文化身份和等级制度的新信息。研究人员将采用一系列的民族志数据收集和分析方法，如在文化遗址的观察研究，与移民工人，焦点小组和生活史的访谈，以绘制代际社区网络。这个奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
