HOMELandS, Westminster

Description

HOMELandS (Hub on Migration, Exile, Languages and Spaces) builds on Westminster’s long-term commitment to teaching and researching languages, cultures, and transnational mobilities. It was launched in 2014 as an innovative and vibrant research group with a distinctive focus on the intersection between migration, languages and spaces in the UK and internationally. Based in the School of Humanities, it has grown into a university-wide research centre that is aimed at promoting theoretically informed, interdisciplinary-oriented and empirically based research to generate critical understandings of new mobilities in increasingly dynamic and intersected diasporic worlds.

HOMELandS is underpinned by transnational and comparative perspectives that aim to bridge traditionally segregated research on different migrant groups by focusing on diverse urban spaces. The centre holds regular events to stimulate dialogue between academics from a range of disciplines and wider communities, including activists, NGOs, creative practitioners and policymakers.
