▼ Many South Sudanese refugees who have resettled in the USA have actively sought to maintain their unique cultural identity while simultaneously working to integrate into American society through the pursuit of formal higher education and successful careers. One of the most interesting developments within this population is the establishment and maintenance of transna- tional families. The process for marriage is economically tiresome and, due to strict immigration policies, often compels family members to live transnational lives. Systems of transnational mar- riage—often arranged by families—and married life allow Sudanese refugees living in the USA to continue important cultural practices, speak their native languages within their homes and communities, and to create Sudanese families. Despite the economic strain these efforts have on the relationships between husbands and wives, they can be culturally empowering to members of this community and their families that live elsewhere in the world. Even decades after resettle- ment in the USA, their ties to their homeland and to their people still remain top priorities in their lives. Efforts of resettlement and the attempts to continue cultural and social ties to their homeland despite time and distance are altering the role of family in Sudanese culture and the continuation of traditional cultural practices. The goals of this research are to describe and ana- lyze the practice of transnational marriage and to examine the extent that resettlement in the USA is changing the structured gender roles in South Sudanese communities.

▼ The main aim of this thesis is to investigate the role of social and trade policies as determinants of migration. The thesis has four core independent chapters that aim to address five major challenges in migration and development research: the effect of non-migration policies, the interplay and dichotomy of internal and international migration, the challenge in conducting impact evaluation of policies on migration, the bridging of structure and agency in migration research, and the way to approach explanatory complexity in migration determinants research. The contribution of this thesis falls mainly in explaining the determinants of South-North and internal migration. On social policy, this thesis finds overwhelming evidence on the robust role of welfare services and programs in origin countries through risk-diversification and relative-redistribution channels. I propose a term called reverse magnet hypothesis and provide the identification strategy to test its robustness. One finding is that the scope and type of welfare programs influence migration decision through the behavioural influence it provides through the relaxation of financial constraints. On trade policy, this thesis finds no migration theory can individually explain global migration. Instead, I find evidence of multiple pathways and combination of different migration theories that serve as causal conditions for total migration and high-skilled migration. This thesis finds that capital linkages play a focal role in migration. It also finds a counterfactual evidence of migration hump, which indicates that the relationships between capital, trade, and migration flows are indeed dynamic. This thesis shows that methodological and theoretical pluralism enrich explanations on migration determinants. Also, the role of origin country determinants should no longer be neglected nor underutilised in migration determinants literature.

▼ The aim of this study is to analyse the extent and nature of labour
migration and its impacts on the sending households in a rural area in South Africa, namely Agincourt, Mpumalanga. This is achieved through a quantitative analysis of a cross-sectional dataset from the 2007 temporary
migration module of the Agincourt Health and Demographic Surveillance System. Results indicate that most temporary
migration in this area is related to the need to work elsewhere, i.e. labour
migration, and that labour migrants are more likely to be men rather than women. Consistent with expectations, temporary labour migrants appear to maintain close ties with sending households, evidenced in three key features of migrants` behaviour, namely: method of communication with the household; pattern of return; and propensity to remit cash and goods to the household of origin. A number of the factors investigated here differ by the gender of the migrant, and whether children were left behind in the household by the migrant. The effect of labour
migration on additional household composition changes, such as the co-
migration of children, appears negligible in this sample, contrary to expectations. Interestingly, the study finds that a large percentage of migrants leave children behind in the sending households, and that more female migrants compared to male migrants leave behind at least one child in the household. These children tend to be cared for within the household by another female relative. These findings underscore the need for more inter-disciplinary and in-depth research on labour
migration, yielding more refined results particularly on the impact of
migration on the health and well-being of children left in the sending household.

Transnational Migration, Diaspora and Religion: Inscribing Identity through the Sacred (the Filipino Diaspora in New Zealand and Singapore).

▼ The thesis is an anthropological exploration of the role of religion in Filipino
transnational migration and diaspora. The thesis takes the interpretive
approach, drawing from a variety of disciplines such as religious studies,
sociology, and geography to frame a holistic view of religion as a “lived”
experience that connects religious dispositions, symbols and ritual
performance to the diaspora’s place-making and home-making. It weaves
together anthropology’s conceptual strands of space, place, symbols and ritual
to present a view of Filipino migrant sociality and personhood not as
constituted by disparate fragmented experiences but as as a tapestry of woven
symbols and meanings that shape their diasporic life, even as they themselves
continuously shape their own experiences.
The thesis’ ethnography is based on participant observation among Filipino
migrants between 2007 and 2010 in New Zealand and Singapore. It focuses on
the celebration of the Santacruzan and Santo Niño-Sinulog fiesta in New
Zealand and Simbang Gabi novena masses in Singapore to examine how
Filipino cultural forms of expression connect and mix with notions of
homeland, family, home, sacred domain and identity as these have been
adapted, recreated, and spatially inscribed in their transnational journeys.
6
The ethnography examines the interplay and connection between Filipino folk
religiosity, family and social networks. It looks at how the deeply held folk
Christian notions of kapalaran (destiny), swerte (luck), bahala na (whatever
God allows will happen /come what may God will take care) and imagery of
may awa ang Diyos (a compassionate God) are enmeshed in the migrant
exercise of agency, reflexive discourse, risk-taking, resilience and meaningmaking
in the diaspora. It demonstrates that among Filipino migrants, material
and communication flows are manifestations of religious dispositions that
support enduring family commitment and reciprocity. It shows that financial
and social capital provided by families and social networks for migrants are
supported by prayers for sacred assistance and blessings, indicating that the
Filipino migrants’ exercise of agency is familial and sacral rather than
individual and secular.
As a dominant Philippine lowland tradition, the fiesta is the locus of sacralmaterial
linkages constituted by Filipino home symbols, such as sacred icons,
costumes, cultural performance, semantic expressions, and food. By
examining the fiesta, its organisation and structure of power relations, the
thesis explores the metaphoric parallels and symbolic articulations between
two homes in migrants’ diasporic consciousness, and the significant role of
sacred symbols in aiding and facilitating the maintenance and inscription of
‘Filipino’ identity in a foreign land. Diaspora identity is a socially and spatially
inscribed identity. For Filipinos, it is inscribed through sacred icons and fiesta
celebrations in sacred sites.

▼ In four empirical chapters spanning three regions of the world in the 20th and 21st centuries, I examine continuities and changes in institutional assistance to foster refugee self-reliance. I employ archival and ethnographic methods to document assistance practices and forms of implementation. I draw upon programme and evaluation reports of the League of Nations and UNHCR as key primary texts due to these institutions' historical influence and prominence in refugee assistance, as well as private collections by individual assistance actors. I find that efforts to foster refugee self-reliance have largely occurred through development projects targeting both refugees and locals, and even entire regions; in so doing, this assistance has largely treated refugees as workers in need of employment. This 'refugee self-reliance assistance', as I term it, has been a main feature of refugee assistance yet has been hitherto neglected in academic scholarship in Refugee Studies as well as International Development. Through a Marxian reading of history I link refugee self-reliance assistance to material interests, outcomes, and changes. Drawing on critical welfare studies, I develop a theoretical framework of 'international welfare' and employ the theoretical concepts of instrumentalisation and reserve army of labour to explain how refugee self-reliance has become an instrument that alternately serves and exemplifies changes in social, political, and economic structures. The rhetoric surrounding refugee self-reliance belies shifting interests and their underlying values - whether self-reliance is espoused as an economic imperative, a protection instrument, or a human right, for example. The identification of these linkages has implications for understanding the conditions under which refugee self-reliance is 'fostered', for analysing the means through which it is intended to be attained, and its explicit and implicit outcomes. Through this examination, my thesis reveals that refugee self-reliance is not an end in itself but instead a malleable instrument to achieve economic gain, political exploits, and social control.

▼ This research paper traces the methods, modes and networks that young Somali men between the ages of 25-30 have used in order to migrate, gain entry and seek asylum in Toronto, Canada from Somalia. This thesis goes further to analyze the ways in which this group of young men seek to carve out a livelihood once they arrive in Canada. Using in depth interviews with a group of 9 young men in the Toronto area, I explore how legal status, statelessness, race and gender norms, clan affiliations and masculine kinship obligations intersect to produce a particular migratory and settlement experience for these young men. Furthermore, I suggest that these networks do not just structure the migration experience for this group of young men but they play an important role in shaping these men’s access to work and ability to survive once they arrive in Canada.

▼ After China and South Korea established diplomatic ties in 1992, over 400,000 ethnic Korean Chinese migrated to South Korea for work or marriage. But despite their common Korean ancestry, both populations have changed in sixty years of separation. Contested definitions of Korean identity resulted. This thesis explores the complex situation of the Korean Chinese within China, their place in South Korean immigration policy, and their eventual reorientation away from South Korea. The problems experienced by migrant and host populations grew from a simplistic notion of ethnicity as shared racial and cultural background. In fact ethnicity is the complex, variable, and manipulable result of long histories experienced in specific places. Understanding ethnic identity requires consideration of territorially-defined group membership and state-sponsored attempts to claim space. Specifically addressing minority groups in China, but relevant to all multinational states, I argue for a contextualized approach to examining changes and conflicts in group identities.

▼ Second generation transnationalism is a growing subfield in
migration studies, which aims to explain the ways in which migrants children participate in the homeland environment. This dissertation examines the transnational practices of 1.5 and second generation Ghanaian-Canadian adults using a transnational social field theoretical framework. The project is guided by three core questions: i. What are the sites through which a transnational social field is developed for the 1.5 and second generation? ii. How does the existence of this transnational social field inform the 1.5 and second generations desire to return to Ghana? iii. What is the reality of the return experience and how are 1.5 and second generation identities, senses of belonging and of home articulated and/or contextualized in the homeland? Through qualitative interviews with 32 young adults, the project determined that Ghanaian diaspora youth are engaged in a cross-border transnational network, which is first cultivated in childhood through community building practices. Many of the participants in this study continued to negotiate their cultural identities as adults with mixed results. Certainly, while some youth continued to build community among their co-ethnic peers, often times, youth were less active in the traditional cultural spaces that their parents had created. Secondly, those participants who return to the homeland are motivated by a composite range of factors, including emotional longing, resistance to Canadian racism, patriotism, the desire for career advancement and a perception of improved quality of life. In actuality, second-generation returnees confront an intricate social context in the homeland, including the realization of their complex belonging both here and there. The project argues that 1.5 and second generation Ghanaian-Canadian young adults are engaged in a dynamic and multi-sited negotiation of their cultural identities as a natural consequence of growing up in a transnational social field. For my participants, this negotiation manifested in frequent trips to the homeland, aspirations for homeland return and strategies to preserve their cultural identities in Canada.

▼ This dissertation examines multistate
migration, an emerging pattern of
migration adopted by capital-constrained migrants who are unable to gain entry into their preferred destination (often in the West) on their first attempt to leave their homeland. This
migration pattern involves lengthy stays lasting at least a year in various “stepping stone” destinations where migrants accumulate additional capital (financial, human, cultural and social) that is then leveraged to secure access to countries higher up their personal destination hierarchy. Multistate
migration can be intentionally planned out from the outset (“stepwise migration”) or it can be more organic (“onward migration”) but, in all cases, such trajectories are marked by dynamic fluidity. Through in-depth interviews with 160 Filipino migrant domestic workers (26 in the Philippines, 28 in Hong Kong, 41 in Singapore, 21 in the US and 44 in Canada), and an analysis of migrant domestic worker policies and praxis in six major markets for Filipino domestic workers (Hong Kong, Singapore, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Italy, Canada) and the US, this dissertation develops a theoretical model of multistage
migration.
Overall, 42% of participants in Singapore, 50% in Hong Kong and 82% in Canada were multistate migrants, highlighting the positive relationship between increasingly strict entry barriers to different destinations and the adoption of multistate
migration. Other macro-level factors behind the emergence of multistate
migration include the development of a transnational labor market for migrant domestic workers, the ongoing economic malaise of the Philippines and the culture of
migration that has developed in that country. At the meso-level, overseas migrant networks encourage the adoption of multistate
migration both by the sharing of advice on the benefits of incremental
migration to a preferred country, but also by the non-/partial provision of
migration assistance. So does the for-profit
migration industry that makes direct
migration to preferred destinations too expensive for most migrants. Finally, at the micro-level, the ability to engage in multistate
migration up their destination hierarchy is a function, not only of migrants’ initial degree of access to capital, but also their agentic ability to accumulate new capital while overseas.

▼ Over the last two decades,
migration to Chile has increased dramatically. This "new
migration" (Martínez 2003) marks a demographic shift away from largely Europeans and Argentineans to the current arrival of migrants from Peru, Bolivia, and Colombia. As in other Latin American nations, previous migratory waves to Chile were often associated with racial improvement via blanquemiento, or whitening, a deliberate move away from bodily, material, and cultural markers of indigeneity. While Chile and these neighboring countries share a common language, history of Spanish colonization, dominant religion, and some cultural traditions, the current arrival of Latin American migrants has prompted emphatic delineation of racial difference. In analyzing current discourses addressing
migration, I argue that the new Latin American migratory flow is always understood in the context of historic migrations from Europe. As Latin American migrants settle in Chile, racialization - the practice of making racial distinctions and pairing these distinctions with an accompanying racial hierarchy - profoundly shapes migrant experiences. I argue that migrant racialization emphasizes both the creation of racial others as well as the assertion of a Chilean national sameness. Indeed, this new migratory flow prompts the construction, contestation, and negotiation of Chile's own national racial identity - one that is produced in constant awareness of global racial understandings. My research extends work on migrant racialization by exploring the recurring tension between racial distinction and national self-presentation through three examples: understandings and experiences of migrant domestic labor, migrant use of public space, and the consumption of Peruvian food. Throughout these examples, I chart the ongoing production of migrant visibility and how the discourses, practices, and processes involved illustrate the shifting terrain of Chilean racial understandings.

▼ Migrant Itinerancy: The Hemispheric Politics of Contemporary Undocumented
Migration analyzes contemporary literary production on the recent intensification of
migration patterns in Latin America and the United States. I engage with Latin American and Chicano cultural criticism to examine the neoliberal re-structuration of the nation-state under neoliberalism and its effects on the politics of
migration in the region. Migrant Itinerancy argues that undocumented
migration exposes the unfounded nature of any figuration of community and reveals the exclusionary logics of contemporary discourses of resistance. I propose the concept of migrant itinerancy as a method of analysis to highlight tensions that reveal how undocumented
migration problematizes forms of political subjectivity premised upon notions of identity and belonging. Rather than merely reflecting on the effects of the exclusionary logics of immigration discourse in the region, Migrant Itinerancy asks how the tensions and contradictions at the heart of the politics of
migration in the hemisphere open a space of reflection to rearticulate a sense of community premised upon practices of communal care. Through readings of Antonio Ortuño’s La fila india, Luis Alberto Urrea’s The Devil’s Highway, Óscar Martínez’s The Beast, and Valeria Luiselli’s Los niños perdidos, I demonstrate how undocumented
migration disrupts residual postcolonial configurations of power, emerging as a political force that demands the redrawing of our current social order. By foregrounding questions of identity, national belonging, human rights, immigration and asylum discourse in a hemispheric context, Migrant Itinerancy reassess the status of the nation-state as principle of social and political organization in times of global migrations.

▼ This dissertation is about the racialization of immigration in Barbados. Between 2008 and 2010, the topic of immigration generated a heated debate in Barbados. The so-called ‘immigration problem’ resulted from increasing numbers of undocumented immigrants coming from neighboring Caribbean countries, especially from Guyana. The debates about the undocumented immigrants problematize them in ways that focus on their race, suggesting that the problem is not so much, or not only, their undocumented status, but more so their race. This becomes more apparent when Indian Guyanese are singled out as being unsuitable and unwelcome immigrants while similar sentiments about Black Guyanese are not as strong, or altogether absent. This problem is particularly significant because it occurs at the critical juncture when Caribbean countries are implementing a regional integration strategy, the CARICOM Single Market and Economy (CSME), which would permit the free movement of labor between member states, and for all intents and purposes unify them. I use textual analysis of the immigration debates taking place on blogs, regional integration treaties and immigration policies for this dissertation. The analysis in this dissertation is informed by critical race
studies, Caribbean
studies and post-colonial
studies, and is written from a cultural
studies perspective that emphasizes contextualized research. The dissertation offers chapters on the responses to the immigrants as well as chapters that situate the work within the larger scope of the history of race relations in the Caribbean and regional integration. The dissertation makes the argument that colonial discourses of race have been employed to problematize and racialize the immigrants and to justify why they should be kept out of Barbados.

The Narrowing Road to Asylum: How Limitation and Exclusion Have Shaped the 1951 Convention Refugee in the Modern Age.

▼ When the United Nations defined the word “refugee” at the 1951 Convention on Refugees, the concept of asylum was very different then it is in the modern day. Although new technology has made it easier than ever for people to move around the world and refugee numbers have climbed to over 25 million<a title="">[1]</a>in recent years, the central question remains the same: who receives international protection from persecution? Although many national and international protections have been put in place to help vulnerable migrant groups, the changing and ever-expanding landscape of
migration has caused a protection gap between these modern asylum seekers and the documents historically written for their protection. This gap is the result of a gradual shift in who receives asylum, occurring at both the international and national level. It is caused by the expansion of national policy regarding asylum and the language used by organizations such as the United Nations High Commissioner on Refugees (UNHCR) in policies which address refugees and asylum seekers. Using a variety of case
studies, I argue that although the core definition of refugee has remained relatively unchanged since the document’s inception, it has failed to protect modern asylum seekers in a complete and effective way because of subtle and gradual shifts in the interpretation of the document and the emergence of restrictions on who receives asylum at a national level. I support this argument by tracking the way that the definition of refugee has been interpreted in recent history in order to better accommodate rising flows of asylum seekers and to support the motivations of national state actors. I further argue that this is negatively impacting the level of protection that refugees receive.

▼ Contemporary scholarly and journalistic literature consistently represents
migration from and through The Gambia using the lens of “crisis”. While these representations normally focus on Gambian
migration to European states – a movement that is highly politicized – this thesis presents a case study of Gambian
migration to a less-politicized destination, North America, in order to explore the relationship between lived experiences and representations of
migration absent the discourse of crisis that pervades other scholarly and journalistic works. Drawing on the mobilities paradigm, feminist geographies of
migration, critical race theory, transnationalism, and literatures on bordering, humanitarianism and development, I examine, through a multi-sited case study, the experiences of Gambians who migrated to the U.S. and Canada, then compare them to the ways their experiences are represented in The Gambia. I then, through a discourse analysis, compare the relationship between lived experience and representation in the North American case study to the ways that Gambian migrants are portrayed by European actors in attempts to stem or stop
migration flows. This thesis reveals that legal status intersects with class and race to impact upon migrants’ lived experiences in North America, the importance of geographic imaginaries as a form of representation in transnational communities, intimate impacts of North American bordering practices within transnational communities, and the use of discursive bordering practices to control and manage migrant flows in The Gambia.

▼ In the past decade arguments concerning who can claim belonging in Australia, and fears surrounding border security, have been at the forefront of Australian political and media debates - particularly in relation to unauthorized asylum seekers arriving by boat. Previous literature focusing on these issues has suggested two key reasons for heightened anxieties over claims to belonging: 1) a growing awareness and recognition of the fact of Indigenous sovereignty and its challenge to the sovereignty of the white Australian nation-state and 2) the fact that refugees and asylum seekers seeking asylum in Australia also challenge the sovereignty of the Australian nation-state by highlighting the porous nature of borders and by challenging the ability of the Australian government to maintain control over a supposedly homogenous and ‘desirable’ population. Thus previous research has indicated that both Indigenous Australians and refugees and asylum seekers present fundamental challenges to the sovereignty of the Australian nation-state. Furthermore, it has been suggested that in response to these challenges the Australian nation has become increasingly invested in ensuring the control, regulation, and possibly exclusion of these two groups of people. In order to further examine the ways in which control and exclusion are perpetuated by white (i.e., dominant group) institutions in Australia, this thesis employs a critical discursive analytic approach to analyze the representation of Indigenous Australians and asylum seekers and refugees in the mainstream news media. More specifically, the analysis draws upon the work of Aileen Moreton-Robinson in relation to whiteness
studies, and Giorgio Agamben and his conceptualization of the state of exception, to examine the ‘techniques of exclusion’ available to the nation-state as it attempts to produce a particular concept of (white) belonging, and to justify border security policies. The analytic chapters examine mainstream news media representations of the claims made by Indigenous Australians to their land through the vehicle of native title, the representation of asylum seekers arriving by boat aboard the Oceanic Viking and the Jaya Lestari 5, the ongoing criminalization of Indigenous Australians in relation to the ‘Aurukun rape case’ and the ‘gang of 49’, and the coverage of refugees and crime in Australia in relation to issues surrounding refugees from Sudan in late 2007. Specifically, the findings indicate:
A persistent representation of Indigenous Australian claims to land solely in terms of economic discourses rather than as an issue of rights.
An ongoing representation of asylum seekers arriving by boat as inherently criminal, unlawful, non-genuine, and undesirable – representations that justify their exclusion from the nation.
A pervasive criminalization of Indigenous Australians and refugees, and a lack of contextual information provided by the mainstream news media in relation to issues of concern to these marginalized groups.
The thesis concludes by examining the…

▼ For reasons of necessity, urgency, and sometimes choice, queer Africans cross borders and find their lives unfolding in diasporic spaces. Refugee claims based on sexual orientation and gender identity persecution make up 12% of all refugee cases in Canada, with queer African refugees constituting the largest group within this category. With this in mind, we now have to ask, “what kind of history will be written about the collision between queer Africans dislocated from post-colonial nations and the Canadian settler nation?” In this study, qualitative in-depth interviews were conducted to explore the individual lived experiences of queer African refugees, with a focus on the intricate realignment of sexual orientation, sexual identity, sexual politics, and sexual desire that inevitably emerges through forced
migration and the refugee process in Canada. The deep meaning of life experiences is captured in the participants’ own words, providing detailed, in-depth insights into the complexities of their lives, their reflections, and their subsequent responses. These narratives call attention to the specific features of queer African refugees, who test the limits of the current homonational refugee apparatus. Participants’ experiences of resisting social roles, structures, identities, and expectations that limit queer African refugees and keep them “in their place,” both in their countries of origin and in Canada, are interrogated. The construction of boundaries that decide who belongs and deserves protection within Canada and who does not provides a foundation for engaging in research as a practice of freedom, in order to counter the global narrative of refugee life that excludes queer Africans. The findings in this research require us to look at practices of exclusion and inclusion in the Canadian refugee system and the tensions that emerge for queer African claimants. In the end, we are left with strategies for how to engage with the politics of knowledge production and advocate for an agenda of social justice and transformation for queer Africans globally.

▼ Ghanaian immigrants and second-generation Ghanaian-American Millennials are largely ignored in scholarship. Using qualitative methods, this study explored the experiences of Ghanaian-American Millennials who are first, 1.5, and second-generations with the purpose of understanding how they create, negotiate, and re-create identities. Twenty-one individuals were interviewed using a phenomenological approach. The main findings suggest that even though the sample populations were of different immigrant generations, they have some similar experiences, which demonstrates the value in exploring age instead of solely immigrant generation. The findings also suggest that there are a number of complex layers that are involved in identity development and negotiation that become compounded when one is an immigrant or second-generation American. The study closes with suggestions for future research and implications for practice for scholars, policymakers, and community members.

▼ This study examines the lived realities of Haitian Americans residing in Miami, Florida. By drawing on theories of global capitalism, migration, transnationalism, and diaspora it explores how the experience of Haitian migrants living in the Miami community of Little Haiti offer insights as to whether transnational, diasporic communities are uniquely placed to become socially aware and political active within their diasporic communities . Most studies on Haitians in the United States focus on New York. However, those residing in the global city of Miami are a unique population of mostly working-class Haitians who, marginalized by U.S. politicians, the media, and migrant groups in Florida, are rendered precarious. Such experiences can push Haitian migrants to maintain transnational links and form diasporic communities in areas such as the ethnic enclave of Little Haiti.Through participant observation and semi-structured interviews with Haitian volunteers and employees at the Little Haiti Community Support Center (LHCSC), in July 2014 I explored the lived experiences of politically engaged Haitian migrants residing in this diasporic community. From the interviews emerged a hybrid, at times ambivalent, diasporic political and cultural consciousness maintained through transnational forms of solidarity. Political consciousness developed in community and in strategic collaborations with other Black diasporic groups. Cultural consciousness functioned as a tool of empowerment and a medium for critiques of U.S. policies, aspects of Haitian culture, and gender norms. Activism solidified communities and families and cultivated new practices to pass on to the next generation. Using the LHCSC as an example of a transnational, politically active site of community, this paper explores how an ethnic community becomes unified as diaspora, and more socially and globally aware as a consequence of their migrant experience.

▼ Throughout the 1990s, war brought about a sudden passage to urban life for millions of Kurds. Pursuing a policy of counterinsurgency, the Turkish state evacuated around 4,000 villages and displaced more than two million rural Kurds in this period. Istanbul was already host to a sizeable Kurdish population that had come to the city for its economic potential, making it one of the primary destinations for the displaced. Today, Kurds make up seventeen per cent of contemporary Istanbul’s total population, corresponding to almost three million Kurds. This number makes Istanbul “the world’s largest Kurdish city,” as the saying goes among Kurdish migrants. Today, two thirds of the Kurdish population in Istanbul is comprised of the urban working class. Moreover, hundreds of thousands of Kurds move each year between the Kurdish region and Turkish metropoles in search of temporary jobs and daily wage-labor.
My research shows how ethnic and social differences are recast through labor, as these differences mark migrant Kurdish men’s bodies, sexualities, life prospects, and senses of belonging in the city. The ways ethnicity intersects with religion, urban class identities, and gender constitute a central concern in my work. I analyze the factors shaping Kurdish
migration patterns and how those migratory patterns intersect with Turkey’s changing socio-political and economic landscape. My writing foregrounds how Kurdish migrant workers articulate and perform their ethical understandings of self, kinship relations, and rights in relation to their struggles for economic survival and social mobility—all this in the context of dramatic economic restructuring and the rise of political Islam in Turkey. The ethnic difference that marks Kurds as targets of political violence is made and remade through their introduction into the labor processes and class relations that fashion cosmopolitan urban spaces. Seen from this perspective, “Kurdishness” is not an essential ethnic or political identity, but rather an uncertain form of becoming that generates new ways of being as one’s relations to self and others, to one’s own body and to one’s community, and to labor are transformed through experiences of loss, struggle, and recovery.

▼ Queer Refugeeism examines how the “refugee” figure relates to Hmong American racial, gendered, and sexual formation, belonging, and politics in the U.S. Examining various discourses around gender and sexuality such as rape, abusive transnational marriages, polygamy, and underage marriages, Part I crafts out ideological formations of race, gender, and sexuality in Hmong American communities. Queer Refugeeism uses texts such as newspaper documents, Hmong American ethnic cultural productions, and legislative bills to explicate a discourse of hyperheterosexuality that renders Hmong American culture and Hmong Americans as racially, gendered, and sexually deviant subjects. Part II turns to the material as I weave in youth narratives and community activism with secondary sources to expound how queer Hmong American youths are intertwined within dominant and Hmong American cultural discourses regarding race, gender, and sexuality. I argue against essentialist framinings of culture that posit Hmong Americans as perpetual refugees incompatible with queer modernity while showcasing how queer Hmong American youths are remaking culture and belonging on their own terms. Overall, Queer Refugeeism tackles how race, gender, and sexuality are integral to Hmong American refugee and queer youth belonging within the U.S.

▼ This thesis explores the phenomenon of canonical revision by migrant and postcolonial writers in Spain and Italy. By recycling, rewriting or revising canonical works or film movements of the host countries in which they work, these writers call attention to Spain's and Italy's concerted attempts to perform a European identity. In doing so, they simultaneously challenge the literary categories into which they have been inserted, such as "migrant" or "Hispano-African" literatures. Rather, these writers illustrate that these categories, too, work in tandem with other forms of exclusion to buttress, rather than challenge, Spain and Italy's nationalist attempts to overcome their-"South-ness" and perform European-ness. The thesis consists of four chapters, each focusing on a different migrant writer. The first chapter examines how Amara Lakhous, an Algerian-Italian writer, models his novels after the film genre of the commedia all'italiana in order to make national and ethnic identity categories look like theater and spectacle. The second chapter analyzes how Najat el-Hachmi, a Catalan writer of Moroccan birth, rewrites a classic of Catalan literature (Mercé Rodoreda's The Time of the Doves) to challenge the oppositions between "immigrant" and "native," while also articulating a transnational, feminist critique of patriarchy. The third chapter
studies how Francisco Zamora Loboch, an Equatorial Guinean exile in Spain, re-interprets Don Quijote as an iconically anti-racist text. The fourth chapter
studies how Jadelin Mabiala Gangbo, a Congolese-Italian writer, recycles Shakespeare's play Romeo and Juliet in his novel Rometta e Giulieo in order to challenge the polarized dichotomy of "migrant" and "canonical" writing. My work both draws on and critiques several, interrelated fields of scholarship, including Southern European
studies, Afro-European
studies, Mediterranean
studies, migrant literary
studies, and postcolonial
studies, as well as criticism pertaining to specific canonical works these writers revisit in their works. In doing so, I hope to demonstrate that a critique of racism or xenophobia in contemporary Spain or Italy necessitates not only a critique of the Global South against Eurocentrism, but also a simultaneous critique of Europe's North-South divide.

▼ This dissertation examines public discourse on culture and integration and asks how do mediated public discussions about integration reproduce norms of national culture and identity that operate to represent and manage “Other” (immigrant, minority, etc.) populations in the German context? Through a case study approach, this dissertation uses critical discourse theory to analyze public campaigns, media events, and mediated controversies since the mid-2000s that sought to define the qualifications for cultural citizenship. Although in recent years an increasing number of publications have addressed Germany’s diverse and transnational population, examinations of processes and policies of integration have tended to focus either on the level of the government or on the level of everyday life. Although ideas about integration and multiculturalism are predominantly forged through events and the surrounding representations in the media, the mid-level processes of the media sphere have been neglected in scholarship. Using Foucault’s theories on biopolitics, I argue that integration discourse divides the population into normative nationals and candidates for integration, consisting of individuals with apparent immigrant heritage. This division sets up a neoliberal framework of perpetual evaluation that separates the productive from the threatening integration candidates while reinforcing normative foundations of Germanness. This dissertation includes three sections. The first outlines two major foundations of German national ideas: The Romantic nation represented by the idea of Heimat and the rational, Enlightenment notion of Germany as a bastion of Western values. This section examines the historical and theoretical underpinnings of these schemas of identity and the place of “new Germans” within them. The second section examines the construction of “the new Germany” in the first decade of the new millennium through the media’s celebration of immigrant patriots and the emergence of “soccer patriotism.” The three chapters in this section examine three different cases in the media that illuminate the relationship between patriotism and productivity and the role of diversity in this new national formation. The third section analyzes media events that construct boundaries separating integration successes from failures. These cases expose the continuities linking celebrations and condemnations of immigrants and new Germans.

▼ This dissertation draws on the stories of 34 Bangladeshi women who went to seven Middle Eastern countries, including United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Bahrain, Lebanon and Jordan, as temporary workers during 1995-2010. I interrogate their interactions with
migration brokers and employers and offer a complex understanding of their
migration journey. My understanding adds to the structural aspect of their
migration journey by highlighting the social context of rural Bangladesh from where these women migrate. I argue a nuanced view of these womens engagement with
migration brokers from their social and familial circles and their conduct with their employers in Middle East requires a critical consideration of Bangladeshi rural realities. Understanding their behaviour in terms of their rural origins leads to feminist insights into power attentive to social context. By linking a macro-structural lens of power to a feminist meso lens of power in this dissertation, I comprehend their situation with brokers and employers in a nuanced manner and complicate dominant ways of understanding their
migration journey. My approach bridges a feminist critical understanding of power relations and a macro-structural understanding of power relations between women and other institutional actors, including
migration brokers and employers in womens
migration journey. This study generates feminist knowledge by utilizing the methodological approach of Grounded Theory. From a feminist epistemological point of view, this knowledge is particularly important as it is generated by marginalized/ disenfranchised Bangladeshi women and uses their otherwise unappreciated perspectives as the basis of knowledge creation.

▼ Bu çalışmanın temel amacı Suriye iç savaşından dolayı Türkiye’ye göç etmiş Suriyeli
kadınların, mülteci kampları dışında yaşadıkları deneyimlerin ve sıkıntıların feminist
bakış açısıyla irdelenmesidir. Bu amaçla YÖK’ün ulusal tez merkezine “Suriyeli
Kadınlar” anahtar kelimesi yazılarak elde edilen izinli 27 lisansüstü araştırma doküman
içerik analizi tekniği ile incelenmiştir. Öncelikle ulaşılan 27 lisansüstü teze dair yapısal
veriler sunulmuş, daha sonra bu tezlerin Suriyeli kadınlara dair verileri feminist duruş
noktası ile yorumlanmıştır. Araştırma kapsamında elde edilen lisansüstü tezlerin verileri
“Barınma Sorunu”, “Kadın Emeği ve Giderek Artan Yoksulluk”, “Erken Yaşta Evlilik
Problemi”, “Kadına Yönelik Negatif Söylem” ve “Dil Problemi ve Sağlık Sorunları”
kategorileri altında toplumsal cinsiyet ayrımcılığı temel alınarak irdelenmiştir. Araştırma
içerisinde Suriyeli kadınların toplumsal cinsiyet ayrımcılığı sebebiyle yoksulluklarının
arttığı, nefret söylemine maruz kaldıkları, erken yaş evlilikleri gerçekleştirmek
durumunda kaldıkları ve sağlık imkanlarından yeterince yararlanamadıkları sonuçlarına
ulaşılmıştır. Elde edilen veriler Suriyeli kadınların toplumsal cinsiyet ayrımcılığına maruz
kaldığına işaret ettiği halde, Suriyeli kadınların her zaman pasif ve kabullenici konumda
olmadıkları gözlemlenmiştir. Araştırma içerisinde kadınların zorunlu göç sonrası yeni
hayat pratikleri kurarlarken, ataerkil sisteme direniş gösterdikleri de ortaya çıkmıştır. Bu
çalışma ile akademide Suriyeli kadınların görünürlüğü irdelenmiş, Suriyeli kadınların
deneyimlerinin ve sorunlarının görünürlüğünün artması umut edilmiştir.
The main purpose of this study is to analyse the experiences and problems of Syrian
refugee women, who migrated to Turkey because of Syrian Civil War, outside refugee
camps through standpoint feminism. For this purpose, 27 graduate thesis documents,
which were obtained by searching the keyword “Syrian Women” on national thesis center
of YOK (Council of Higher Education), are analysed through content analysis technique.
First of all, structural data of these documents is presented, then data from these
documents on Syrian women is interpreted through feminist standpoint theory. In this
context, the problems of Syrian women are grouped into five categories. Data gathered
from these theses is examined under the categories “shelter problem”, “women’s labor
and increasing poverty”, “early marriage problem”, “negative discourse towards women”,
and “language barrier and health problems” based on gender discrimination. It is
concluded in this study that Syrian women have become more impoverished due to gender
discrimination, have been exposed to hate speech, have been forced into early marriage,
and have not been able to sufficiently benefit from the healthcare system. Although data
gathered in this study points to Syrian women being a victim of gender discrimination, it
is also observed that Syrian women do not always show passive and accepting…

Examining the role of integration experiences in shaping immigrants’ post-migration food choices and eating practices in Ontario, Canada.

▼ Despite the extensive literature on immigrants’ post-migration dietary transitions and their implications for long-term health and well-being, little research has been conducted to link these processes to their integration experiences. This dissertation contributes to the current literature by examining the interrelationship between immigrants’ integration experiences – especially their economic integration – and their post-migration food choices and eating practices.
The first integrated article (Chapter 2) draws on qualitative interviews with 38 recent immigrants in two Ontario cities (Toronto and London) in Canada. First, this chapter focuses on illustrating recent immigrants’ general experiences in managing their post-migration food choices and eating practices in Canada. Second, this chapter further explores what structural aspects related to immigrants’ integration experiences play a role in shaping their opportunities and barriers to healthy eating. The next integrated article (Chapter 3) draws on qualitative interviews with 23 immigrant men and immigrant women that are heterosexually married. This chapter takes an intersectional life course approach to explore who takes on the responsibility of “feeding the family” and identifies forces and pressures that encourage taking on such a role. Further, I also examine what specific challenges these immigrant families experience and what strategies they adopt as they endeavour to produce healthy, home-cooked meals. The last integrated article (Chapter 4) is a case study using a mixed-method approach. By analyzing quantitative data from the 2015 Canadian Community Health Survey, this study first examines the awareness and usage of Canada’s Food Guide among Canadian adults in Ontario, comparing how immigrants differ from native-born Canadians. Second, I draw on qualitative data from 45 in-depth interviews with recent immigrants and international students to further explore their general experiences in accessing and using Canada’s Food Guide.
The overarching goal of this dissertation is to contribute to the current literature on immigrant integration, lifestyle, health, and well-being – and also to suggest future directions for policies surrounding immigration and their health and well-being.

This thesis investigates the political reaction in Rotterdam and Vienna to immigration from the new EU member states after EU enlargement in 2004 and 2007. Local governments cannot control immigration and therefore have to resort to other policies to react to an influx of immigrants. It is explored how the presence of populist radical right parties in the political system of both cities has had an influence on the policies adopted by other parties. An analysis of the policies implemented in both cities concludes that in Rotterdam, the city has taken up a very active role by bringing together all relevant stakeholders to combat the negative side-effects of the immigration from the new member states. Over the entire political spectrum, fears exist that this immigration flow puts another burden on a city that its policy makers regard as having too many already. Vienna, on the contrary, has not developed specific policy on immigration from the new member states, but accommodates it through general immigration and integration policies. The reaction in both cities fits into the cities’ respective traditions on how to deal with immigration, but these traditions diverge significantly. This shows that the emergence of the populist radical right has led to various responses from other parties, depending greatly on local contextual factors.

▼ The Old Testament maintains disparate representations of Israel’s God, even in portions where the centralizing momentum of particular authorial communities is apparent. These different instantiations of divine origins and character bear witness to processes of cultural exchange that occurred over the course of Israel’s history. Myriad
studies have addressed the tensions arising from Yahweh’s relationship to other deities and geographic locations in biblical, iconographic, and inscriptional bodies of evidence, but to date, none have taken account of Israel’s internal religious diversity by investigating the relationship between mobility,
migration, and internal religious pluralism. This project fills that lacuna by combining mobility/
migration studies research with relevant textual (biblical and extra-biblical) and archaeological data in order to examine the relationship between
migration and internal religious diversity in Israel and Judah from the time of Israel’s emergence in the central highlands during the Early Iron Age until the Exilic period. It makes a novel contribution to the study of Israel and Judah’s religious expressions by integrating
migration studies as the primary conversation partner with the biblical texts and extra- biblical evidence. In doing so, it contributes a fresh understanding of the scope and texture of religious identities by accounting for the role of mobility in the development and exchange of religious elements that compose the broader Israelite religious heritage. The project is divided into three main parts. The introductory chapter elaborates the origins and directions of the project and clarifies important terminological and theoretical concerns surrounding the discussion of religion and
migration. Chapter 2 elaborates my own methodological moorings for the study of religion in the ancient world. Chapter 3 provides further theoretical grounding for application of social scientific data on
migration through an expansive introduction to modern research on migrant religiosity in contexts of mobility. It explicates the impacts of religion on migrant decision making, as well as the effects mobility and
migration have on religious diversity, religious identity formation, and the spectrum of internal religious pluralism. In the second part of the project I turn to explore the concepts of mobility and
migration in the ancient Near East, especially as they relate to divine mobility and transcendence. Chapter 4 presents the dominant cultures of mobility in the ancient Near East. It catalogues the various instances of large-scale movement in the lands around Canaan and explains the macro-level occurrences of cultural exchange evidenced by the archaeological, iconographic, and textual records. Chapter 5 illuminates the intersections of mobility/
migration and religiosity in the lands surrounding Canaan through analysis of a variety of textual evidence. The third part of the project explores the effects of mobility on the lived religious experiences of ancient Israelites as witnessed in…

Toward a Global Human Rights Regime for Temporary Migrant Workers: Lessons from the Case of Filipino Workers in the United Arab Emirates.

▼ Temporary contract migrants as a class fall between systems of responsibility: home country, host country, and international community. The systems are separately inadequate and basically uncoordinated, leaving migrants in a precarious situation. The situation of temporary contract migrants is even more precarious as they cross international borders without a path to citizenship or full enfranchisement in the political, economic, and social life of the host country. Where citizenship and residence/employment are divided between multiple countries, the corresponding human rights obligations are similarly divided. This division results in migrant rights falling between different state-based systems of responsibility. Human rights can be divided between those that are inherent in citizenship (citizenship obligation) which are the responsibility of the sending state, those that are inherent in the physical body (presence obligation) which are the responsibility of the receiving state, and those that fall between systems of responsibility (involvement obligation) which require sending and receiving countries to act cooperatively. These categories provide clear guidance in sorting out responsibilities for the rights of temporary contract migrants and direct us towards possible avenues for reform. Once adopted, this framework can help guide bilateral or regional agreements on a case-by-case basis. Although the principles underlying split responsibility are universal, the required elements of cooperation are likely to vary between different contexts. This dissertation draws on analyses and interviews conducted with Filipino temporary contract migrants in the United Arab Emirates in order to substantiate the argument, illustrating strategies that migrants as agents utilize to improve their conditions, the tradeoffs that they have made in order to secure their livelihood in a global job market, and the impact that current policy frameworks have on their lived experience.
