Donato Rice University Donna Gabaccia University ofMinnesota Jennifer Holdaway Social Science Research Council Martin Manalansan, IV University ofIllinois, Urbana-Champaign Patricia R. Pessar Yale University INTRODUCTION Another special issue on gender? Haven't there been enough of those? When we decided to present the findings of the Social Science Research Council's Working Group on Gender and Migration2 in a special issue, we were certainly familiar with the many special issues and literature reviews focused on women and gender published over the past twenty years. Still we felt that scholarly 'This special issue is the product of the Gender and Migration Working Group of the International Migration Program of the Social Science Research Council. The editors would like to thank Josh DeWind, Director of the International Migration Program, the members of the Program Committee, and all the colleagues who participated in the various phases of the Working Group. Funding was provided by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. 2Historian Donna Gabaccia (a specialist on the Atlantic migrations of the nineteenth century) first proposed the formation of an SSRC working group called Gender and Migration Theory in Spring 2002. In late 2003, Katharine Donato, a sociologist who worked with quantitative methods to study migration from Mexico, and Martin Manalansan, an Asian-Americanist ethnographer actively engaged in dialogue with the humanities through ethnic studies and queer studies, joined the working group, followed later that year by anthropologist Patricia Pessar and political scientist Jennifer Holdaway. Together this team then recruited contributors for the special issue. By paying attention to the disciplines, preferred methodologies, and area specializations of the original team and of the contributors, we hoped to achieve a kind of balance in the scholarship reviewed and the assessments reached. © 2006 by the Center for Migration Studies of New York.
