China's Rural Migrant Workers: Social Transition and Cultural Practice

这个项目将帮助澳大利亚人了解当代中国身上日益加剧的社会紧张和冲突，从而增强澳大利亚作为中国研究领先者的已经很高的声誉。它将产生关于个人经验和观点的基层知识--特别是农村移徙人员的经验和观点。如果澳大利亚要与中国建立联系，并对该地区的社会经济现实进行细致入微和深入的把握，这些知识是至关重要的。此外，这项研究将产生关于媒体、工作和家庭的跨文化视角--所有这些都是澳大利亚社会政策形成过程中日益紧迫的问题。

This project will help Australians understand some of the growing social tensions and conflicts in contemporary China, thereby enhancing Australia's already strong reputation as a leading research community on China. It will generate grass-roots knowledge of individuals' experiences and perspectives - particularly those of the rural migrant. This knowledge is crucial if Australia is to forge links with China, and develop a nuanced and penetrating grasp of the socio-economic realities of the region. In addition, the study will generate cross-cultural perspectives on media, work and family - all increasingly pressing issues in the formation of social policy in Australia.
