I have taken the freedom to write to you about my research project on borders, whose goal is to conduct a comparative study between the impact of U.S. immigration policy on the northern border of Mexico and the Spanish immigration policy on the southern border with Morocco.



The work was initiated in late 2012. It is co-directed by Dr. Luis Escala Rabadán sociology (Colef) and Joan Lacomba Vázquez (UV). In the first part of the research, I have already posted some articles and I gave two presentations (attached information at the end of the mail). In addition, a project to Studies Institute of Ceuta, which was approved in March 2014 for the full amount requested (3,300 €) is presented. However, only 10% Lead initially (330 € ), and the remaining 90 %, when he delivers the memory of fieldwork. Thus arose the crowdfunding initiative.



On the other hand, I am a lawyer and social researcher (novel), specializing in co-development and migration. Also, I've been an activist for the last time as a volunteer and technique in civil society pro - migrant . My studio is a work denouncing the situation in which undocumented persons are in two of the most important migratory corridors of the world and the industry that is being generated about the militarization of borders and deportation of migrants. Our keys are: Academic research to generate knowledge, activism and complaint.



This campaign have also produced a video that you can watch through the link to the project: http://goo.gl/xZNI7w and wherein Colef UV and yielded their logo to give more support. Furthermore, we are spreading it through the media. Currently Levante -EMV has echoed the campaign: http://goo.gl/WcNAFh and Digital Faro de Ceuta: http://goo.gl/UQTYLm also have participated in a radio program (Radio Klara - PODCAST : LLIURE DIRECTE http://goo.gl/rk6SfJ ) and Cadena Ser Ceuta (in the news section) .



For me it would be very important that you will want to engage, in order to achieve 100% funding I need to conduct fieldwork in the southern border. For the project to succeed, we need three things primarily :



1) Wide dissemination.



2) Financial Contributions. This is inevitable. To do fieldwork in the southern border of Spain with Morocco, we have to move and stay for 3 months. We raised €1135 (34%) of the € 3,300 we need and we have only 21 days to reach our goal. The contributions are for 2 € to 70 €. They can be made from anywhere in the world, and to protect patrons donations will only be collected when 100% of the target is reached. If not, we get no money and no patrons will have lost theirs. The platform through which we are doing our campaign is Lánzanos, pioneered in Spain to make a science project thanks to this form of collective financing (for further information: http://goo.gl/CT2Cdu ). There are 3 ways of payment: by credit card, paypal or the voucher system. You can make a bank transfer or a contribution in person to hand in exchange for a voucher with a code. Also you can be anonymous in all cases. 



3) We also need ambassadors, ie, organizations and institutions who want to get involved in the project. They are individuals or institutions that, somehow, want to support crowdfunding. This support translates into an economic contribution, material or in a specific communication campaign to support a general area or a specific project. But there is no reward in return. It is selfless.



Finally, on our return we will offer photographic material of the exhibition, which will be organized to disseminate the work, lectures, diaries, etc. All activities are part of the reward for the contribution made. In addition, through my blog "Research in strange times," I will give an account to the public of my progress: http://investigadorasocial.blogspot.com.es/. My Facebook, Twitter and Linkedin accounts are also listed on the blog. 



If you would like more information, do not hesitate to contact me. In this project there are many hours of work but with all the enthusiasm in the world, and it is undoubtedly thanks to collective funding that it will succeed.

 

Thanks for your attention.

 

Yours sincerely,



Mª Isolda Perelló Carrascosa
