Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: Although the immigrant network has proven to play an important role in understanding the patterns and consequences of transnational migration, studies of these dynamic social phenomena have been largely one-dimensional. Few researchers have acknowledged the importance of social and temporal context in their studies of the immigrant social network � studies have been conducted based on the notion that �all networks are created equal!� However, recent research has shown that the social context within which a network originates and persists is an important consideration, with certain networks more likely to provide certain forms of assistance and less likely to provide others. Great strides have indeed been made with the incorporation of gender as a central and defining theoretical component, yet even engendered network studies have not acknowledged the reality that networks are not monolithic entities � they are dynamic and ever-changing phenomena that are affected by social, situational, and even temporal factors. This study will focus on the effect that the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 (IRCA) had on women�s church-based immigrant networks. By focusing on a specific form of engendered immigrant network (i.e. church-based), this study will allow us to more effectively (and precisely) interpret observed patterns and attribute these patterns to a more concise set of social factors.
