Summary

Today, racialized older women’s international migration is increasingly accelerated, cyclical and transnational, illustrating the transcendence of lives across time and space. At the same time, immigration regimes regulate and restrict these seemingly unfettered mobilities using neoliberal, gendered and ageist policies that favor (younger) skilled immigration. This article addresses the question of how social work can use intersectionality perspectives to theorize racialized older immigrant women’s lives which are stretched across multiple time(s) and space(s) yet confined within highly regulated multi-tiered immigration systems.

Findings

This article outlines a theoretical framework grounded specifically within intersectional feminist, post-structural, and transnational aging perspectives. The framework embraces the temporality, spatiality, and transnationality of gendered, aging and migrant lives and reconsiders their agency as a performed subjectivity bound by multiple forces of institutionalized regimes.

Applications

This theoretical framework moves social work inquiry to a richer understanding of the migratory realities of diverse aging lives that are simultaneously in-motion and regulated within structural constraints.

探索种族化老年移民女性主体性的交叉理论框架

概括

今天，种族化的老年妇女的国际移徙越来越加速、周期性和跨国性，说明了生命跨越时空的超越性。与此同时，移民制度使用有利于（年轻）技术移民的新自由主义、性别和年龄歧视政策来规范和限制这些看似不受约束的流动。本文解决了社会工作如何使用交叉性观点来理论化种族化的老年移民妇女的生活的问题，这些妇女的生活跨越多个时间和空间，但又局限于高度监管的多层移民系统。

发现

本文概述了一个理论框架，具体基于交叉女权主义、后结构和跨国老龄化的观点。该框架包含了性别化、老龄化和移民生活的时间性、空间性和跨国性，并将它们的能动性重新考虑为一种受制度化政权多种力量约束的表演主体性。

应用

这一理论框架将社会工作调查推向了对不同老龄生活的迁徙现实的更丰富的理解，这些生活同时在运动中并在结构性约束下受到调节。
