Doctoral Dissertation Research: A Comparative Analysis of Migration

境内和跨境移徙具有重要的政治、社会和经济影响。该项目将把移徙走廊作为一个概念过程进行分析。因此，这项研究将改变基于相关法律和政策、媒体话语和贸易协议的移民理论。在这项人种学研究中，采用了包括访谈和宏观分析在内的混合方法，本项目将审查移民走廊的发展和转变的形成。在此过程中，本研究将分析女性外来务工人员经常交叉的出行路线。通过将移民作为移民走廊内和移民走廊之间的一个过程来考察，该项目提供了对移民的理论理解的进步。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

Migration within and across borders has important political, social, and economic implications. This project will analyze migration corridors as a conceptual process. As a consequence, this research will alter theories of migration based on relevant laws and policies, media discourse, and trade agreements. In this ethnographic study employing a mixed methods approach including interviews and macro-level analyses, this project will examine the development and shifting formation of migration corridors. In doing so, this research will analyze the often intersecting travel itineraries of female migrant workers. By examining migration as a process within and across migration corridors, this project provides an advance in theoretical understanding of migration.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.
