Dr. John Davies, Dr. Jane Verbitsky and Dr. Shashikala join us to talk about migration!
Migration is a Dubai and global issue.
Sussex Centre for Migration Research is where Dr. Davies comes from.
Why care?
Migration is a critical issue of our times, and a major interdisciplinary field of enquiry in the social sciences. In western discourse, population movements are regarded as a threat to stability and a challenge to established lifestyles, but in much of Africa and Asia, movement is the established pattern. With increasing globalisation, migration has become a key element in north-south relations, and in the domestic politics of many developed and developing countries. It is also central to issues of identity and citizenship.
Through our DFID-funded centre on Migration,Globalisation and Poverty and other externally-funded research projects, such as the EU Network of Excellence on 'International Migration, Integration and Social Cohesion in Europe' (IMISCOE) we seek to influence both understanding of migration and the policies that affect migrants. We provide doctoral and masters-level training in Migration Studies, and also publish the internationally-recognised Journal of Ethnic and Migration Studies.
