Abstract:
In occupational science, migration has mainly been considered as an ‘uprooting’ experience and occupational scientists have examined the centrality of occupation in migrants’ integration in their receiving countries. Concerned about occupational injustices, occupational scientists have aimed at uncovering barriers that migrants face in their occupations and how these barriers can be overcome in their receiving countries. Migrants’ connections to their sending countries have been considered mainly as a cultural background that ought to be negotiated in the integration process, but the occupation-based literature has, to date, largely disregarded migrants’ ongoing cross-border occupations. We argue that occupational science could benefit from and contribute to theorisations of transnationalism, through examination of the ties migrants maintain across borders through occupation, especially with their sending countries.
