Join CERC Migration for our upcoming Migration Working Group meeting. The April Migration Working Group addresses the theme of diaspora studies and transnationalism, and will be chaired by Rica Castaneda, Researcher, and co-chaired Oreva Olapke, Research Fellow.

The Migration Working Group meets monthly to discuss the migration research of emerging and established scholars. Our meetings give researchers an opportunity to present their ongoing projects, learn about each other's work and share feedback.
