Research Experience with Guinean Women in Migrant Associativism

Abstract

This experience report is part of an ongoing investigation, for which the thesis report was submitted in the second academic year of 2023/2024. I present part of the research trajectory, from contact with primary and secondary sources, to obtain and trace paths that would allow us to capture the voices and narratives of Guinean women participating in our research, using qualitative methodologies and focusing on the biographization of social mobility and, above all, the protagonism of female agency in migrant associations. We are interested in understanding how women participate in, mobilize, and recreate social and economic resources in the diaspora and in their place of origin.
