Abstract
"Located at the intersection of critical migration, morality, and gender studies, this ethnographic project proposes an empirically-grounded, bottom-up approach to the study of migration trajectories, aspirations, and the subjective imaginings of "good' futures. It asks: how do Ecuadorian and Cuban migrants to/in Spain appraise their aspirations, negotiate competing values, and weigh disparate futures""whether envisioned back home, in their present locale, or in some new place?"
