A new labor #migration #research article by Karen Liao considers how temporary reintegration unfolds at the intersection of involuntary return and immobility in the lives of #Filipino migrant workers. PRIO NUS Geography Sage Journals buff.ly/3Xv59Vc

What makes a migrant’s return sometimes so fleeting and temporary? Sharing Karen Liao’s important work on reintegration - an understudied aspect of the migration journey.

Love this new article by Karen Liao where she argued that "reintegration was not an end goal, but a liminal phase in which the migrant workers straddled between coping with their forced return and immobility, and their enduring aspirations and intentions to leave."

Karen Liao considers the phenomenon of temp. reintegration, which, for Filipino #migrant workers, takes place at the intersection of involuntary return & immobility, & suggests that it can be understood as a “grey window of return.” PRIO International Migration Review (IMR) buff.ly/3Xv59Vc
