Bordering Society: Understanding and Reimagining Migration, Displacement and Diversity in an Age of Rapid Transformations

How do changes in the global order and international migration shape research on migration today? What new concepts and theories do we need to address the challenges and opportunities of migration-driven diversity? How do local, national, international and transnational processes interact? How do migrants and local communities respond to and act upon these rapidly changing scenarios? How changing political and legal infrastructures impact on the lives of migrants and racialised communities across generations? How does the study of migration need to change to be ready for the transformations in the decade ahead?
This international conference seeks to address such questions and look at key dimensions of contemporary migration studies research, in the face of such complex geopolitical and political landscapes.
