A Gender-Sensitive Approach to Migration Dynamics

Theimpact of gender on migration processes Considering thedynamic and reciprocal relationship between gender relations and migration, thecontributions in this book approach migration dynamics from a gender-sensitiveperspective. Bringing together insights from various fields of study, it isdemonstrated how processes of social change occur differently in distinct lifedomains, over time, and across countries and/or regions, influencing therelationship between gender and migration. Detailed analysis by regions, countries, and types of migration reveals a strong variation regarding levelsand features of female and male migration. This approach enables us to graspthe distinct ways in which gender roles, perceptions, and relations, eachembedded in a particular cultural, geographical, and socioeconomic context, affect migration dynamics. Hence, this volume demonstrates that gender mattersat each stage of the migration process. In its entirety, Gender and Migration gives evidence ofthe unequivocal impact of gender and gendered structures, both at a micro andmacro level, upon migrant s lives and of migration on gender dynamics.This publication is GPRC-labeled (Guaranteed Peer-Reviewed Content).Contributors: Marianna Bacci Tamburlini (Universidade de Lisboa), Milena Belloni (University of Antwerp), Kitti Baracsi (University of Pecs), Kamila Fialkowska (University of Warsaw), Hilde Greefs (University of Antwerp), Kenneth Hemmerechts (Vrije Universiteit Brussel), Alexandra Parrs (University of Antwerp), Ferruccio Pastore (Forum Internazionale ed Europeo di Ricerchesull’Immigrazione FIERI Torino), Alina Poghosyan (Institute of Archaeology and Ethnography of the National Academy of Sciences of Armenia), Ilse Ruyssen(Ghent University), Sara Salomone (Ghent University and UNU-CRIS), Romina Seminario Luna (Lausanne University), Christiane Timmerman (University of Antwerp), Lore Van Praag (University of Antwerp), Thomas Verbruggen (Universityof Antwerp), Zeynep Zumer Batur (University of Antwerp)
