Lara Momesso

Lara Momesso, an Honorary Research Fellow and expert in migration and gender studies, delves into her extensive research on marriage migration between Taiwan and China. She explores how geopolitics influences personal intimacies, revealing the complex emotional landscapes of cross-strait marriages. Lara discusses the evolution of migrant motivations since the late 1980s and contrasts open fieldwork in Taiwan with the challenges in China. She also plans future research on the experiences of second-generation migrants and the aging population in these communities.
