We would like to draw your attention to a call for papers for a conference organized by the interdisciplinary research group “Human Rights Discourse in Migration Societies” (MeDiMi). 

We are delighted to invite you to submit a paper proposal for the international conference “Young People’s (Self-)Positioning in the World: Subjectivities, Discourses, and Inequalities”, which will be held from September 8–10, 2026, at the University of Duisburg-Essen, Germany. 

DG Migration’s Strategy & Liaisons Team is pleased to invite you to the annual State of the Art conference. The conference aims to facilitate the conversation on key migration issues among scholars, policymakers and other professionals in the field of migration. The goal of the conference is to bring these different groups together and to exchange knowledge through dialogue and reflection. This year’s theme is Looking ahead: migration policy in the long term. 

This short contribution, written by MACIMIDE researcher Prof. Dr. Khalid Koser, is situated at the intersection of three global contradictions.

Prof. Dr. Melissa Siegel has a new video on her YouTube channel. 

The UNU-MERIT Seminar Series team is pleased to announce our upcoming research seminar featuring David Zuchowski, Assistant Professor in the Department of Economic Analysis at the Universitat de València and research fellow at Global Labor Organization (GLO). 

This seminar, featuring Georgina Sturge, traces how migrants were counted in UK censuses, showing how population data can mean recognition, risk, and evolving democratic power. 

Ghent University is hiring 7 PhD researchers in anthropology, social work/educational sciences, linguistics, interpreting and law. 

The Interuniversity Center for Social Science Theory and Methodology (ICS) offers fully funded PhD positions in the Netherlands for a variety of innovative and fascinating research projects.
