Global Labour in Rural Societies (GLARUS)
About the project
The project addresses how contemporary global flows of low-skilled and manual labour transform rural labour markets and communities in Western society.
It theorizes how international migration to rural sociocultural contexts differs from migration to urban regions, and seeks an improved theoretical understanding of the spatial complexities of contemporary international migration and its implications for local rural communities.
The project was funded by The Norwegian Research Council's FRIHUMSAM programme (10 Mill NOK) with additional NTNU funding (5,2 Mill NOK). The project period was 2017–2022.
