The two volumes "Crossing borders and shifting boundaries" offer an
interdisciplinary perspective on women and men on the move today,
exploring the diversification of migratory patterns and its implication
in different parts of the world. It reflects the vibrant scholarly
debates as well as unique learning and teaching experiences of the
Project Area Migration, the International Women's University.
While pointing to historical continuities, it is shown how contemporary
ways of bridging time and space are shaped by the new opportunities - or
lack of them - related to the process of globalization. This shaping is
gendered. Gendering migration paves the way for further intersectional
analysis.
Vol. I Gender on the Move critically examines mobility, globalization
and migration policy from a gender perspective. It includes case studies
on internal and international migratory processes in and from Latin
America, Europe, Africa, Asia and North America. Furthermore it makes an
important contribution to the issue of agency and empowerment emerging
from migrant women's experience.
