| description | This paper is about the migration behaviour of highly skilled South African Indians from the period 2006 to present. The ethnography of the highly skilled is relatively new in Anthropology and while it contributes to recent discourse on migration and diaspora, it also foregrounds the need for an array of methodological approaches to support the global mobilities of people, the nature of multi-sited research and what “highly skilled” means in different geographical contexts. The paper is arranged in two parts: the first part contextualises the highly skilled professional in recent global migration literature and theory, and the second part presents case studies of highly skilled migrants in several international destinations, highlighting and contextualising their experiences abroad. |
