Doctoral Dissertation Research: A Comparative Analysis of Migration

境内和跨境移徙具有重要的政治、社会和经济影响。这个项目将分析迁移走廊作为一个概念过程。因此，这项研究将改变基于相关法律和政策，媒体话语和贸易协定的移民理论。在这个民族志研究中，采用了包括访谈和宏观层面分析在内的混合方法，本项目将研究移民走廊的发展和变化。为此，本研究将分析女性移徙工人经常交叉的旅行路线。通过研究迁移作为一个过程内和跨越迁移走廊，该项目提供了一个先进的理论理解的migration.This奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并已被认为是值得通过评估使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准的支持。

Migration within and across borders has important political, social, and economic implications. This project will analyze migration corridors as a conceptual process. As a consequence, this research will alter theories of migration based on relevant laws and policies, media discourse, and trade agreements. In this ethnographic study employing a mixed methods approach including interviews and macro-level analyses, this project will examine the development and shifting formation of migration corridors. In doing so, this research will analyze the often intersecting travel itineraries of female migrant workers. By examining migration as a process within and across migration corridors, this project provides an advance in theoretical understanding of migration.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
