Interns And Institutions: Interactions Between Unpaid Interns And Public Policy, Hannah G. Waterman

This study addresses that gap by applying the transnational feminist concept of “global care chains” in a single case study design that explores the experience of nurses who migrated to Ontario through permanent and temporary immigration streams and were interviewed in 2011 to 2012 to …
