- Biography/History:
- Anna Katharina Skornia completed her doctorate in Sociology from the Freie Universität Berlin. She is a member of the Research Network on Interdependent Inequalities in Latin America (desiguALdades.net). Her research interests include migration, care, and social inequality from a transnational perspective.
- Summary:
- Based on a multi-sited ethnographic case study on transnational care chains between Milan (Italy) and Lima, Huancayo, and Cuzco (Peru), the book explores how social inequalities are reproduced through the care practices that follow the introduction of Peruvian migrants into home-based elderly care.Anna Katharina Skornia adopts an innovative approach in combining research on transnational care and migration with a perspective on entangled inequalities. In particular, the study sheds light on the role of state regulations in contributing to these inequalities as well as their ambiguous implications from the perspectives of both caregivers and receivers.
