DIIS migration seminars are public seminars about current migration research. The seminars disseminate and discuss findings about migration with a wide audience. The seminar spring series critically explores visions and practices concerning migration and development. This relates not only to remittances but also to how migration and its effects are attempted to be governed—for instance in relation to highly skilled migration, diaspora organizations, sending-state policies, and conflict.
Based on cutting-edge research and ongoing policy involvement, the seminars present current policy development as well as migrant responses and practices, questioning common sense assumptions and presenting new perspectives. The next seminar is about African diaspora organizations and takes place Friday April 3, 12.30-15.30 at DIIS.
