Female Labor Migration in Globalizing Asia: Translocal and Transnational
Identities and Agencies
Location:	Singapore
Call for Papers Date:	2007-05-10 (Archive)

This workshop aims to explore the mutual interactions of global and local
discourses and practices that shape female migration and labor in and across
Asia, particularly in East and Southeast Asia, as well as Asian migrant
women workers' experiences, identities and agencies. The organizers seek
insightful perspectives grounded in original empirical research that can
effectively capture the dynamism of these gendered processes unfolding on
the ground and in the lives of social actors they involve. Contributions
from anthropology, gender studies, human and cultural geography, political
economy, and sociology are especially welcome. Selected workshop papers will
considered for publication in a special journal issue(s). Limited funding
may be available for participants with demonstrated financial hardship.
