Migration and Refugees Research Network

Description

Our Network engages directly with a variety of issues connected with migration and refugee studies. It embraces an enriching interdisciplinarity and transdisciplinarity, with researchers and practitioners from social anthropology, refugee studies, English literature, sociology, history, political science, computer science, media studies, psychology, law, languages, and business studies, among other disciplines.

From whatever disciplines we come, whatever research partnerships we form, our work centres on the predicament and opportunities of migrants and refugees, national, regional and global. Our research includes, for example, studies into refugee entrepreneurship and their integration into the labour market; migrants as political agents; housing for forced migrants; the experience of asylum seekers in asylum accommodation; migrant children in education; as well as computing models for managing migrants’ data.

We work together with colleagues in other universities and research centres across the world, as well as with government agents, practitioners in charitable and public policy sectors, on projects of mutual interest.

In addition, we run a series of seminars and lectures, as well as a Summer School, to share and discuss our research and knowledge about migration and refugees.
