Purpose
Migration affects countries of departure, transition and destination. But knowledge production about migration is dominated by destination countries in the Global North. Our purpose is to help reduce this inequity by:
- Creating a dialogue about drivers, processes and consequences of migration from multiple perspectives.
- Producing and disseminating knowledge by scholars from both the Global South and Global North.
- Generating insights on how to make international research partnerships more inclusive.
Objectives
Objective 1:
To design, negotiate and conduct two linked studies on families’ roles in migration of:
- the elderly (in China and Australia)
- international students (in Canada and India)
Objective 2:
To generate knowledge about South / North collaborative research by:
- Designing and undertaking research projects in which scholars from both locations are engaged
- Documenting the evolution of the collaboration
Objective 3
To enhance the capacity of migration scholars to undertake international research by:
- Exchanging visiting scholars among the centres
- Preparing the proposal for a large scale international project in migration.
