Internal migration always restructures the spatial imagination, and variably across different social groups. In China, gender, class and power relations are important determinants of both mobility and concepts of place. Studying the phenomenon of the migrant baomu (the domestic maid), this project hypothsises that the emerging translocal practices of rural-urban migrants have significantly reworked the spatial imagination of the Chinese people. This project will lead to a new conceptualisation of place and space, with the flow of people and the flow of media images brought into productive interface. It will also generate important cross-cultural perspectives on women, work and migration. Research findings will be communicated in a book, Maid in China.

内部迁移总是会重构空间想象，并且在不同的社会群体中会有不同的变化。在中国，性别、阶级和权力关系是流动性和地方概念的重要决定因素。通过研究流动保姆（家庭女佣）现象，本项目假设新兴的城乡流动人口的跨地域实践极大地重塑了中国人的空间想象。该项目将带来场所和空间的新概念，将人流和媒体图像流带入生产界面。它还将产生关于妇女、工作和移民的重要跨文化观点。研究结果将在一本书《中国女佣》中传达。
