Join CERC Migration for our upcoming Migration Working Group meeting. The April Migration Working Group addresses the theme of diaspora and transnationalism, and will be co-chaired by Amin Moghadam, Research Lead, Cities and Migration, and Masoud Kianpour, 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.
