Competing policies within the sending state
In framing nations as places that either send or receive migrants, there is a danger in defining migrant‐sending nations as monolithic entities driven by a single mandate of exporting labour to a global economy. Using the concept of viscosity, we argue that sending states comprise multiple state agencies with varying interests, which can either impede, slow, or facilitate labour emigration. We demonstrate our argument by examining the Philippines…
Catching up with rapid technology implementation
There is an increasing demand for the rapid implementation of technologies that can address persisting and evolving needs of the health sector. However, to make technologies work in local health settings, a mutual alignment between technologies and local context is needed. Despite existing scholarship on health technology implementation, few have examined how human and non-human actors move towards technology implementation. Using the mobilities …

Understanding International Immobility through Internal Migration
Migration scholars have tended to portray internal mobility as a step toward broader cross-border movement, reinforcing the notion of ongoing progress toward international migration. This article argues for a need to recognize how internal mobility can also explain international immobility, or why people do not move across national borders. Using the case of Filipino nurses, we argue that while internal migration does allow aspiring migrants to b…
Temporality and acquiescent immobility among aspiring nurse migrants in the Philippines
While there is a considerable literature on how people decide to move from their places of origin, few studies have examined how aspiring migrants cope with immobility and eventually decide to let go of their migration aspirations. This paper uses the lens of migration temporalities to show how Filipino nurses unable to emigrate overseas eventually chose to remain in the Philippines. In particular, we discuss how nurses formulated these decisions…
I feel like I’m drawing strength from it”
In this phenomenological study, we offer an insightful understanding of the lived experiences of seven (7) Filipino elderly participating in craft-making. We purposively selected the key informants from a municipality in the province of Bulacan, Philippines. The transcribed data gathered through a semi-structured in-depth interview was analyzed using Colaizzi’s approach. Six themes describing the lived experiences emerged: “Fostering friendship,”…
