ESRC Research Seminar Series: Understanding the Migrant Experience
The Centre for Migration Policy Research (CMPR) at Swansea University has been awarded funding by the ESRC to host a series of one-day seminars which aim to increase understanding of the migrant experience.
The first seminar in the series was held in April and explored the links between micro-level understanding of ‘the migrant experience’ and macro-level theories and trends from an inter-disciplinary perspective.
The next seminar is entitled Understanding difference: the role of gender, age, class and race in shaping ‘the migrant experience‘ and will provide an opportunity to reflect on the various dimensions of identity that impact on experiences of migration, as well as the implications of these differences, and the intersectionality between them, for policy and practice.
The seminar will take place at Swansea University on Thursday 9th July 2009 from 9.30am – 5pm.
Seminar details and programme, questions, and if you would like to attend this seminar please email migration@swansea.ac.uk by 20th June. Places are limited to 45 participants. There are a number of travel bursaries available for migrants and postgraduate researchers who would like to participate.
