Global Workers seeks a bilingual or highly proficient (Spanish-English) researcher for this summer. The person will undertake intensive research and writing with regard to migration from the Mexico to the United States. Global Workers seeks to increase its understanding of the movement of migrant workers from Mexico to the United States and back again. The information will be used in multiple ways to inform our work, including expanding our website. The intern will work closely with one or more staff members during the summer.
