WiP Session XIII: Gender, Family and Migration in Georgia: Exploring Household Dynamics and Migration Decisions| June 16, Tbilisi, Georgia
Erin Hofmann, Ph.D. candidate (University of Texas - Austin) -- “Gender, Family and Migration in Georgia: Exploring household dynamics and migration decisions” In this WiP, Erin Hofmann will present her Ph.D. project, which focuses on gender differences in the motivations for labor migration from Georgia. In this mixed methods project, she will use a combination of statistical analysis and in-depth interviews to explain the socioeconomic and demographic characteristics of male and female migrants from Georgia, and explore the role of gender norms and family structures in explaining differences between male and female migration. Georgia is unusual among migrant-sending countries due to its high levels of both male and female migration, and the extreme diversity of destination countries where Georgian migrants can be found. The issue of migration from Georgia has received little attention outside the country, despite its potential to enrich our theories of gender and migration. The presentation will focus on the theoretical background of the research, the challenges of conducting migration research in Georgia, the potential benefits of combining survey data and interviews, and methods for exploring migration as a household decision. *This series is being co-sponsored by the Caucasus Research Resource Centers (CRRC), American Councils for International Education, and the American Research Institute of the South Caucasus (ARISC).* Date: Wednesday, June 16, 2010 Time: 5:30pm - 6:30pm Location: ISET building (CRRC) Street: Zandukeli 16 City/Town: Tbilisi, Georgia |
