Keep the Home Fires Burning
Rural-to-urban migrant households in China grapple with providing adequate child care because of migrant workers' precarious work conditions, limited access to public services, and the challenges of bringing their children to the cities where they work due to household registration ( hukou) rules. With increasing pressure to raise high-quality ( suzhi) children, nonmigrant grandmothers in rural homes struggle to cope with intensive childrearing e…
Retention in the early STEM career
Mobility Repertoires
The burgeoning field of immobility studies focuses on how migratory aspirations and capabilities shape a given (im)mobility status but devotes scant attention to how people traverse different (im)mobility categories. Through a case study of Chinese students in the United States during the COVID-19 pandemic, this article develops two arguments to shed light on migrants’ experiences and strategies in mobility transitions. First, during the pandemic…
Creating Our Gendered Selves—College Experiences, Work and Family Plans, Gender Ideologies, and Desired Work Amenities Among STEM Graduates
Studies often cite climate issues in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) employment to explain the lack of diversity by gender and race. Yet, little research directly attends to gender and racial differences in the college experiences, expected family roles, and ideological beliefs about gender that create the racialized "gendered selves" graduates bring to STEM occupations. We examine the experiences and beliefs of graduatin…
Rightful Bargaining
Previous studies of claims‐making on authoritarian states have focused on how the aggrieved use episodic protests to challenge the state’s authority or adopt alternative group strategies to circumvent repression. Few studies have thus far applied these insights regarding groups’ innovative strategies and their interactions with the state apparatuses to explore individuals’ claims‐making at the microlevel. Based on 15 months of ethnographic fieldw…
Transnational migrant labor, split labor markets, and workers’ boundary-making practices in a Chinese state-sponsored workplace in Ecuador
Existing research on transnationalization of labor documents split labor markets between less-skilled (im)migrant workers and native workers in the host countries. But there is little research on how labor relations take shape when relatively skilled workers migrate from more developed countries to work temporarily in less-developed countries in the Global South. Based on ethnographic research on a Chinese state-sponsored construction project in …
