Transnational Polish families in Norway the entanglements between migration trajectory and labor

A continuing importance of extended kin in the globalized world has been pinpointed by studies in sociology of family (Mason 2011, Charles et al. 2008), and particularly highlighted by migration research on transnational kin (Goulbourne et al. 2010). Under this premise, we look at the lives of Polish migrant families (parents, children and beyond) as defined as embedded in the dynamically constructed practices of managing ties and kin relationship beyond national borders (Bryceson & Vuorela 2003), signifying a constant interplay of ethnic identity components from the countries of origin, destination and beyond (e.g. Goulbourne et al. 2010, Reynolds 2008). In a nutshell, we thrive towards examining multi-sited/ transnational/ cross-border family practices found in Polish family migrants parenting in Norway
