Migration, Mobility and Diversity

THIS STREAM BRINGS TOGETHER RESEARCHERS FROM MULTIPLE DISCIPLINES WITH EXPERTISE ON MIGRATION AND MOBILITY. IT LOOKS AT FORMATIONS, EXPERIENCES AND SOCIAL POSITIONS CREATED BY MIGRATION THROUGHOUT THE WORLD.

Our research examines transnational communities, intercultural relations and dynamics of integration and exclusion, movement of ideas and identities and attendant cultural and religious diversity, migrant health, economic and social remittances, impact on families and communities. We also address forces prompting increased mobility including labour supply-chains, economic and social aspirations, involuntary migration and resettlement, as well as mechanisms to control, channel and curtail people movement at national, regional and global levels.
