Abstract

Cosmopolitanism among migrant workers may present t he result of interpretations between transnational mobility, class, and cultural intermediary. The pur poses of this study describe the dynamics of travel and immigration, and higher education experiences that have let Indonesian migrant workers at work in any place both in and out of campus areas and how the transformati onal processes of the migrant worker from transnati onal into cosmopolitan. Applying the ethnographic method this research was carried out during 2018-2019, which t ook Indonesian migrant worker-students aged 20-35 years in South Korea as informants. This research found that the broader social, cultural, and individual agendas ar e one way of recognizing a new cosmopolitanism. The re are two factors that influence the cosmopolitanism process of Indonesian migrant workers; first, the transnati onal migration process. Second, the process of cultural intermedia tion in universities. This study reveals significan t differences in how Indonesian migrant workers respond to the possi bilities and opportunities of transnational mobilit y, from developing the cultural acceptance skills needed in their life trajectories to building network relati onships with other transnational actors. Higher education for mi grant workers has introduced another form of work, namely cultural intermediation, which can be seen as a cos mopolitan process.
