The intersection of migrants' homeless personal histories with social structures: a comparative study in the post-COVID-19 vaccination context in Lond

尽管移民的主要动机是寻求更好的生活条件，但他们在新居住地往往发现难以获得有尊严的生活。他们中的一些人最终陷入了极其不稳定的境地，甚至流落街头。本研究的目的是研究移民无家可归的历史与社会结构的交叉点，发现：哪些社会结构正在影响里约热内卢和伦敦的移民进程并加剧移民的困难？如何？移民在这些新居住地陷入无家可归之前会走什么路？ COVID-19 是如何使这个问题变得复杂的？里约和伦敦都是大都市，吸引了许多移民。研究这两种不同的背景将分析发达国家和不发达国家的移民过程如何发生。数据将通过半结构化访谈收集。为了寻找受访者，我将与 CENTROPOP（无家可归者专业参考中心）和 Caritas（位于里约热内卢的第三部门援助移民的宗教机构，需要进行海外实地考察）和 CaritasWestminster（位于伦敦）合作。参与者将被询问他们的生活史、在一个新国家生活的感受以及政府和第三部门干预如何影响他们的生活。这项研究将根据其结果提出建议，建议巴西和英国采取措施支持无家可归的移民。这些知识将作为博士学位论文的一部分写入。

Despite the migrants' major motivation being the search for better living conditions, what they often findin the new place of residence are difficulties in accessing a dignified life. Some of them end up inextremely precarious conditions, even living on the streets.This research purpose is to study the intersection of migrants' homeless histories with social structures,discovering: What social structures are affecting migratory processes and intensifying migrants'difficulties in Rio de Janeiro and London? How? What is the path migrants take until reachinghomelessness in these new places of residence? How did COVID-19 complexify this problem?Rio and London are metropolises, attracting many migrants. Studying these two different contexts will beanalyzed how migratory processes occur both in developed and underdeveloped countries.The data will be collected via semi-structured interviews. To find respondents, I will partner with CENTROPOP- Specialized Reference Center for Homeless Population - and Cáritas - a third sector religiousinstitution that assists migrants - located in Rio, which will require overseas fieldwork - and CaritasWestminster, located in London. Participants will be asked about their life history, what it has been like tolive in a new country and how the government and the third sector intervention affect their lives.This research will make recommendations based on its findings for measures to be taken across Braziland UK to support migrants experiencing homelessness. The knowledge will be written up as part of aPhD thesis.
