Navigating transnational confianza: Relocating agency in Salvadoran migration

我的项目提供了对先前未被理论化的迁移方面的洞察：信任。通过探索当地人对萨尔瓦多信任纽带（confianza）的理解，我的研究强调了信任在移民决策过程中既是推动因素也是拉动因素的作用。经过传播，我认为本研究具有影响学术理论、政策和NGO实践的潜力。认识到信任的这一因素，可以使研究人员和实践者更深入地了解人们为什么迁移以及为什么迁移到他们所做的地方。有了这些知识，非政府组织从业者和政策制定者将能够推动项目和政府行动，促进移民移民前后的信任建设活动。

My project offers insight into a previously under theorized aspect of migration: trust. Through exploring local understandings of bonds of trust (confianza) in El Salvador, my research highlights the role that trust plays as both a push and a pull factor in migrants' decision-making processes. Upon dissemination, I assert that this research has the potential to impact academic theory, policy, and NGO practice. Recognizing this element of trust recenters the agency of the migrant amidst Neoliberal violence granting researchers and practitioners deeper insight into why people migrate and why they migrate to the place that they do. With this knowledge, NGO practitioners and Policy makers will be able to promote projects and government action that promotes trust-building activities both before and after migrants migrate.
