> *A Critical Analysis of Domestic Labour Mobility in the Context of Global
> Sports Events in Brazil*
>
> *Project*
>
> This research project analyses the domestic labour mobility in the context
> of the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. It investigates
> these mobilities within a broader framework of national and regional
> migration policies and processes. Methodologically, the project draws on
> local-to-global perspectives and deploys a mixed-method approach, combining
> ethnographic fieldwork (direct and participant observation and in-depth
> interviews), semi-structured interviews with key stakeholders and a broader
> contextual analysis based on secondary data.
>
> By focusing on labour mobility, the project addresses pertinent research
> gaps and provides empirical evidence on domestic mobilities in South
> America in general and Brazil in particular. It will lead to novel insights
> into the socioeconomic effects of large-scale sporting events in developing
> countries, a research field that remains unexplored. In brief, this study
> will provide innovative empirical and conceptual contributions to
> sociocultural anthropology and the social sciences at large.
>
> *Team*
