The Citizenship and Migration Research Network (CMRN) at the University of Edinburgh will be hosting a one-day hybrid writing workshop for displaced PhD and Early Career Researchers looking to publish an article on themes related to forced migration. The Writing Workshop will bring together 10 PhD and early career researchers with peers from the University of Edinburgh for one to one and group feedback on their draft articles, and a series of talks about how to publish and promote your work from Editors of leading journals in the field.    

On Wednesday 30 November (15:30-17:00), Maastricht University’s Globalisation, Transnationalism and Development (GTD) colloquia presents this book, exploring innovative research methods for studying the relationship between migration and education (broadly conceived), focusing on centering migrants’ experiences through visual mapping methods. Chapter presentations from editor Prof. Cathryn Magno and Dr. Anna Becker (University of Fribourg) and the MO-TRAYL team (Maastricht University) will address knowledge production, researcher positionality, and practicalities of using new methods.

In this video, Melissa Seigel addresses 5 things to know about migration and development. 

This event will be held at the Institute for Advanced Social Studies (IESA-CSIC), Córdoba (Spain) on March 30-31st, 2023. 

In this video, Melissa Siegel looks at a project evaluating the integration policies of European countries for those who are beneficiaries of international protection. “Beneficiaries of international protection” is a broad term that applies to many types of migrants who have fled their home countries to seek protection abroad. While we’ll primarily use the term “refugee” in this video, the project’s goals apply to asylum seekers, people with temporary protection, and resettled refugees. The National Integration Evaluation Mechanism (NIEM) is a six-years long transnational project supporting key actors in the integration field to improve the integration outcomes of beneficiaries of international protection.

The ITEM annual conference in Groningen will focus on the impact of border regions on security, health and energy supply for the inhabitants of Europe’s internal borders. The current social developments in the fields of energy, health and safety still show that in order to tackle barriers, it is important to work together with partners on both sides of the border to arrive at the right casuistry, a joint concrete agenda and a structural approach. The current discussion around energy and the cross-border aspects involved require stronger inter-governmental governance (multilevel governance). 

In Prof. Siegel’s latest video she focuses on her next country case study produced by the MIGNEX project. This particular video focuses on the two research areas in Guinea. 

The proposed special issue examines the pandemic’s impact on migrants in cities through the concept of urban (migrant) citizenship.
