Doctoral Thesis Summary
My PhD thesis entitled Class, Translocality, and Integration: Examining the Experiences of Filipino Nurse Migrants in Ireland investigates the influences of the translocal context of Filipino migrant nurses on their socioeconomic situation and social class conditions in Ireland. The research utilizes a novel approach in understanding migrant class and class identities from the lenses of translocality, a relatively recent development in social science research that looks at how migrants are connected to different geographical spaces such as neighborhoods, communities, and nations. Using mixed methods research involving an Ireland-wide survey of 481 Filipino nurses in Ireland, 61 in-depth interviews, and social network analysis of their economic networks, I examine how the translocal context of migrants shapes their lifestyle choices, life chances, and integration, among others.
