Abstract

This paper analyses the role that migrant women leaders play in sustaining precarious spaces of community-led volunteering. The voluntary sector has been theorised as an interstitial yet connective space that nourishes unmet needs of migrant women in the context of familial demands, labour market marginalisation, and a diminishing welfare state. While state-funded initiatives are often intended to address these gendered asymmetries, less is known about the dynamics of precarious spaces of community-led volunteering, and in particular about the leaders who appreciate and navigate the complexities of these spaces. Grounding our analysis in feminist geographies of volunteering literature, and employing the concept of institutional work, we interview multiple stakeholders in a network of Local Migrant Women’s Clubs (LMWCs) in Australia. In this precarious space, migrant women leaders are required to bridge contradictory logics of migrant women’s vulnerabilities and escalating administrative expectations under poorly-resourced conditions. Our analysis advances institutional work as a productive frame to trace linkages between divergent institutional agendas at the macro-level, and the distributed agency and invisible labour of migrant women leaders at the level of lived experience. Overall, the lens of institutional work foregrounds the tacit and intensive investments required on the part of poorly resourced migrant women leaders to maintain required circulations of care in their local communities.

移民妇女领袖在澳大利亚墨尔本的不稳定志愿服务空间中的机构工作

摘要

本文分析了移民女性领导人在维持社区主导的志愿服务的不稳定空间方面所起的作用。在家庭需求、劳动力市场边缘化和福利国家日益减少的背景下,志愿部门被理论化为一个间隙但又相互联系的空间,可以滋养移民妇女未满足的需求。虽然国家资助的举措通常旨在解决这些性别不对称问题,但人们对社区主导的志愿服务的不稳定空间的动态知之甚少,尤其是对欣赏和驾驭这些空间复杂性的领导者知之甚少。基于我们对志愿文学的女权主义地理学的分析,并采用机构工作的概念,我们采访了澳大利亚当地移民妇女俱乐部 (LMWC) 网络中的多个利益相关者。在这个岌岌可危的空间里,移民女性领导人需要弥合移民女性脆弱性和在资源匮乏条件下不断升级的行政期望的矛盾逻辑。我们的分析将制度工作作为一个生产性框架来追踪宏观层面的不同制度议程与生活经验层面的移民女性领导人的分布式机构和无形劳动力之间的联系。总体而言,从机构工作的角度来看,资源匮乏的移民女性领导人需要进行默契和密集的投资,以维持当地社区所需的护理循环。移民妇女领导人需要在资源匮乏的条件下消除移民妇女的脆弱性和行政期望不断升级的矛盾逻辑。我们的分析将机构工作作为一个生产性框架来追踪宏观层面上不同的机构议程与生活经验层面的移民女性领导人的分布式机构和无形劳动力之间的联系。总体而言,从机构工作的角度来看,资源匮乏的移民女性领导人需要进行隐性和密集的投资,以维持当地社区所需的护理循环。移民妇女领导人需要在资源匮乏的情况下消除移民妇女的脆弱性和行政期望不断升级的矛盾逻辑。我们的分析将制度工作作为一个生产性框架来追踪宏观层面的不同制度议程与生活经验层面的移民女性领导人的分布式机构和无形劳动力之间的联系。总体而言,从机构工作的角度来看,资源匮乏的移民女性领导人需要进行默契和密集的投资,以维持当地社区所需的护理循环。以及移民女性领袖在生活经验层面的分布式代理和隐形劳动。总体而言,从机构工作的角度来看,资源匮乏的移民女性领导人需要进行默契和密集的投资,以维持当地社区所需的护理循环。以及移民女性领袖在生活经验层面的分布式代理和隐形劳动。总体而言,从机构工作的角度来看,资源匮乏的移民女性领导人需要进行默契和密集的投资,以维持当地社区所需的护理循环。
