This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (SBE) program (CFDA 47.075) provides $259,476 to Fordham University to investigate the long-term impacts of migration trajectories on civic participation and collective identity formation among returned labor migrants. The research employs a multi-sited, longitudinal approach to track how different migration experiences influence the development of new civic participation networks and social/political empowerment when migrants return to their home countries. The project aims to make significant contributions to the anthropology of migration, globalization, and migration policy. It also provides training in anthropological methods to undergraduate students at Fordham and local researchers at the study sites, with research findings shared with local and international organizations to inform migration policy and management. The award period runs from October 1, 2024 to July 31, 2027.
