dc.description.abstractThis article-based dissertation presents a multi-sited ethnographic study of the migration decisions, experiences and practices of nurses educated in the Philippines. While migration is a future oriented act, this dissertation shows how the decisions and strategies that the nurses employ are shaped by past experiences, the present situation and the prospective future. It also examines how individual and family events and concerns are entangled with policies, regulations and labour markets in more than one country. Acts and experiences in the present are consciously positioned in relation to prior considerations and future imaginaries in the life cycle of the migrants. Theoretically, this dissertation combines two well-established concepts within the discipline of human geography – labour agency and transnational family networks – with theories of time and temporality applied to the migration experience.en_US
