Honorable Mention for the Best Paper Award 2023 by the Hong Kong Sociological Association
Congratulations to Prof. CHIU Tuen Yi, Jenny on her outstanding achievement! Her article, "Temporariness and Post-Migration Adaptation of Older Migrants: The Case of Chinese Grandparenting Migrants in Singapore," received Honorable Mention for the Best Paper Award 2023 by the Hong Kong Sociological Association.
In her article, Prof. CHIU introduces new concepts of "objective temporariness" and "subjective temporariness" to examine how the duration of stay allowed by the host state and migrants' feelings toward their temporary presence affect migrants' intentions and ability to adapt to the new environment. By conceptualizing temporariness as a continuum, the article shows how diverse forms of temporariness (transient versus extended) differentially shape the adaptation patterns of short-term and long-term stayers.
This groundbreaking research underscores the importance of analyzing the temporal alongside the spatial when examining temporariness as a condition experienced by older temporary migrants and as a tool used by nation-states to regulate migrant populations.
