@Majuli_Chapori Thank you Mitul! I realize I forgot to include link to website 😂 Hopefully we will also get to chat about our books soon? 😀 sup.org/books/sociolog…

@yyortiga Lovely!!! Would like to know more!!! :)

Looking forward to discussing migration & geopolitics in Asia with an outstanding panel (@howlett_zachary @EliDFriedman @yyortiga)! I'll be talking about my book project on how the symbolic politics of Chinese diaspora engagement produces unintended and far-reaching consequences.

Come spend a week with us in Venice! univiu.org/study/phd-acad…

@yyortiga @MarvinMontefrio Congratulations Yasmin! Looking forward to learning more about your findings!

Who are the future farmers of the world and where will they come from? Beginning a new project with @MarvinMontefrio on the intl trajectories of Filipino farm workers

The project marries our interests in labor migration and agrarian change. It also tests our ability to work together as two academics who are literally married to each other

On Al Jazeera. The Philippines is cracking down on a migrant workers scheme launched by South Korea after discovering widespread cases of abuse and exploitation. More than two million Filipinos work overseas, earning money for family back home. But there've been more than 100 complaints stemming from a seasonal farming program tied to local governments in both countries.

@JiaqiLiu_soc @GATS_ASA Haha, I very much enjoyed receiving and giving out an award across two continents. Look at our snazzy @sgSMUSOSS pantry! 😅

Couldn’t make it to ASA this year, so our very own @yyortiga transnationally relayed my plaque. Beyond grateful for the recognition from @GATS_ASA! “Diasporic placemaking: The internationalisation of a migrant hometown in post-socialist China” Free link: shorturl.at/n2Nuy

It was a lot to take in. To be a scholar of, and a citizen of the world’s model for labor migration means having the grace to persevere when state leaders disappoint and problems persist at home. But I suppose the next step is to simply move forward. And to have hope 🌦️ 5/5

What were we thinking then? What could have been done better? Many of the presenters had also retired in recent years, so it felt like a passing of the baton to another generation of scholars...which I realize includes me 🥲😳 4/5

🇵🇭2024 is the 50th year of the Philippines’ labor migration program. Last month, I had the honor of presenting at two major conferences to mark the occasion. The first was an ambitious data summit, co-organized by Professor @rhacel and the Phil Department of Migrant Workers. 1/5
