WORKSHOP: International Workshop, "Rethinking Domestic Relations and Work Inter-Asian Migrations"

该奖项授予Sara L. Friedman博士（印第安纳大学），为亚洲内部劳动力迁移国际会议提供了部分支持。会议将于2011年6月在意大利洛克菲勒基金会的贝拉吉奥中心举行。在过去的四分之一世纪里，妇女和男子在亚洲各区域之间和区域内迁徙，从事不同形式的工作和交往，如婚姻和家务劳动，这使一个国家的工人与其他国家的家庭有了密切的联系。本次会议的目的是将这些明显不同类型的劳动力迁移作为一个单一的类别进行研究，即“亲密劳动”，并评估其对当今亚洲家庭、公民身份、劳动力和性别相关的理解和实践的累积影响。在对移民流动进行分类和调节的现有类别之外，会议参与者将使用人种学案例研究数据来突出移民自身的经历，从而修订跨境流动的现行表述及其对公民规范和国家身份的影响。会议将汇集来自东亚、东南亚、南亚和海湾国家的研究成果。它将包括学术参与者和侧重政策的非政府组织的代表。研讨会的研究结果将为理解亚洲移民趋势和政策方向提供新的模型。通过仔细关注政策与生活经验之间的对比，与会者将考虑不断变化的政策模式如何影响在家庭关系和空间中的劳动表现，以及它们如何影响农民工对风险和机会的预期。会议将加强学术和非学术研究人员、分析人员和政策制定者之间的联系。这些联系将导致未来的合作研究项目、学术出版物和政策文件，重点关注亚洲间对区域移民趋势的反应。

This award to Dr. Sara L. Friedman (Indiana University) provides partial support for an international conference on labor migration within Asia. The conference will be held in June 2011 at the Rockefeller Foundation's Bellagio Center in Italy. Over the past quarter-century, women and men have migrated across and within regions of Asia to engage in different forms of work and association, such as marriage and domestic labor, which bring workers from one country into close contact with families in other countries. The goal of this conference is to examine these apparently different types of labor migration as a single category, "intimate labor," and assess its cumulative effects on the understandings and practices associated with family, citizenship, labor, and gender in Asia today. Pushing beyond received categories for classifying and regulating migration flows, conference participants will use ethnographic case study data to highlight the migrants' own experiences and thus revise prevailing formulations of cross-border mobility and their impact on citizenship norms and national identities.The conference will incorporate research from across East Asia, Southeast Asia, South Asia, and the Gulf states. It will include academic participants and representatives from policy-focused non-governmental organizations (NGOs). Findings from the workshop will inform new models for understanding Asian migration trends and policy directions. Through careful attention to contrasts between policy and lived experience, conference participants will consider how changing policy models affect labor performed in domestic relationships and spaces, as well as how they affects the migrant laborers' expectations of risk and opportunity. The conference will strengthen networks between academic and non-academic researchers, analysts, and policy makers. These ties will lead to future collaborative research projects, scholarly publications, and policy papers focused on inter-Asian responses to regional migration trends.
