“…This selection allows this paper to avoid the confusion between motivation for emigration and motivation for entrepreneurship. Third, they can be regarded as diasporans who have a hybrid identity (Brinkerhoff, 2012;Kloostermann et al, 1999) in order to avoid confusion with expatriates. Fourth, only the first generation of migrants are selected so that generational variations do not affect the results.…”

“…Johnson (2007) calls diaspora philanthropy as one of the least understood subfields of philanthropy, with scholars agreeing it seems not to be a strategic tool but an ad hoc practice (Newland and Patrick 2004;Sidel 2008). Although research on this philanthropic subfield is increasing (see for example Brinkerhoff 2008Brinkerhoff , 2009aBrinkerhoff , b, 2011Brinkerhoff , 2012Brinkerhoff , 2014Dhesi 2010;Hilber 2008;Johnson 2007;Merz 2005;Moon and Choi 2012;Newland and Patrick 2004;Sidel 2008;Tchouassi and Sikod 2010), as is the case with much early social science research in new areas of inquiry, at present case studies of a single country, organization, or ethnic community predominate (Brinkerhoff 2014;Sidel 2008).…”

Crowdfunding and diaspora philanthropy are two emerging areas of research that are generating excitement in the field of philanthropic studies. However, little if any research examines the shared characteristics and advantages of these two phenomena, and if and how crowdfunding might serve to strengthen efforts in the practice of diaspora philanthropy. This article reviews relevant literature on crowdfunding and diaspora philanthropy, and then analyzes overlapping characteristics, strengths, and limitations of these practices. The article then considers the potential of crowdfunding to contribute toward diaspora philanthropy, giving particular attention to the contexts and challenges faced in philanthropy in the global South.Résumé Le financement collectif et la philanthropie de la diaspora sont deux domaines de recherche émergents qui génèrent de l'engouement dans le milieu des études philanthropiques. Cependant, nulle ou peu de recherches examinent les caractéristiques et avantages communs de ces deux phénomènes et si et comment le financement collectif peut renforcer la pratique de la philanthropie de la diaspora. Cet article examine la documentation pertinente publiée sur le financement collectif et la philanthropie de la diaspora, pour ensuite analyser les caractéristiques, forces et limites chevauchantes de ces pratiques. L'article tient ensuite compte de la potentielle contribution du financement collectif envers la philanthropie de la diaspora, en portant une attention particulière aux contextes et défis qui caractérisent la philanthropie dans l'hémisphère sud.Zusammenfassung Die Gruppenfinanzierung (Crowdfunding) und die DiasporaPhilanthropie sind zwei neuere Forschungsgebiete, die den Bereich der philanthropischen Studien begeistern. Wenn überhaupt, untersuchen allerdings nur wenige Forschungsarbeiten die gemeinsamen Merkmale und Vorteile dieser beiden Phänomene und ob und wie das Crowdfunding die Bemühungen in der Praxis der Diaspora-Philanthropie stärken können. Dieser Beitrag prüft die einschlägige Literatur zum Crowdfunding und zur Diaspora-Philanthropie und analysiert sodann die überlappenden Merkmale, Stärken und Einschränkungen dieser Praktiken. Man erwägt das Potenzial des Crowdfunding, zur Diaspora-Philanthropie beizutragen, und konzentriert sich insbesondere auf die Zusammenhänge und Probleme im Bereich der Philanthropie im globalen Süden.Resumen El crowdfunding o micromecenazgo y la filantropía de la diáspora son dos áreas emergentes de la investigación que están generando entusiasmo en el campo de los estudios filantrópicos. Sin embargo, pocas investigaciones, si las hay, examinan las características y las ventajas compartidas de estos dos fenómenos, y si y cómo el crowdfunding puede servir para intensificar los esfuerzos en la práctica de la filantropía de la diáspora. El presente artículo revisa el material publicado relevante sobre crowdfunding y la filantropía de la diáspora, y analiza después las características que se solapan, las fortalezas y las limitaciones de estas prácticas.

“…At least early in tumorigenesis, before the establishment of multiple distant deposits of cancer cells, metastases arise from a single site of origin, the primary tumor (13). Several types of diaspora have been described based on why the population scattered (14,15). Which peoples moved and what segments of society left?…”

Do cancer cells escape their confinement of their original habitat in the primary tumor or are they forced out by ecological changes in their home niche? Describing metastasis in terms of a simple one-way migration of cells from the primary to target organs is an insufficient concept to cover the nuances of cancer spread. A diaspora is the scattering of people away from an established homeland. To date, “diaspora” has been a uniquely human term utilized by social scientists, however, the application of the diaspora concept to metastasis may yield new biological insights as well as therapeutic paradigms. The diaspora paradigm takes into account and models several variables: the quality of the primary tumor microenvironment, the fitness of individual cancer cell migrants as well as migrant populations, the rate of bidirectional migration of cancer and host cells between cancer sites, and the quality of the target microenvironments to establish metastatic sites. Ecological scientific principles can be applied to the cancer diaspora to develop new therapeutic strategies. For example, ecological traps, habitats that lead to the extinction of a species, can be developed to attract cancer cells to a place where they can be better exposed to treatments or to cells of the immune system for improved antigen presentation. Merging the social science concept of diaspora with ecological and population sciences concepts can inform the cancer field to understand the biology of tumorigenesis and metastasis and inspire new ideas for therapy.
