Zaproszenie do udziału w badaniu Polskiej Akademii Nauk i Uniwersytetu Gdańskiego

Zapraszamy do udziału w badaniu PAR Migration Navigator, realizowanym przez Polską Akademię nauk i Uniwersytet Gdański. Badamy, jak żyje się Polakom i Polkom w Polsce oraz naszym rodakom w Norwegii. Czy życie na emigracji wpływa na relacje w związku, a wychowywanie dzieci różni się od tego w Polsce? Twoje anonimowe odpowiedzi pomogą nauce, a cały projekt dzięki informacjom od badanych wspomoże wymianę dobrych praktyk między Polską a Norwegią.

A new MPC Working Paper "The fuzzy lines of international migration: a critical assessment of definitions and estimates in the Arab countries" by Philippe Fargues, Director of the Migration Policy Centre, RSCAS, EUI

Since emigration and immigration plug into the highly sensitive and subjective issues of nationhood and identity, the definition of what a migrant is and is not, and the dissemination of knowledge about international migration are themselves intrinsically subjective matters. Since statistics are produced out of data routinely collected by state administrations and because international migration moves individuals from one state to another, data on international migration are by their very nature difficult to collect and require international harmonisation of statistical procedures.

An International conference "Migrant Mothers caring for the future", Clarence Centre, London South Bank University (18-19th September 2014)

This international multidisciplinary conference engages with perspectives from cultural studies, cultural geography, sociology, migration studies, and the creative arts to explore how migrant mothers realise and problematise their role in bringing up future citizens in contemporary societies, which are increasingly characterised ethnic, racial, religious, cultural and social diverse.  

It will ask important questions about the processes that shape migrant mothers’ cultural and caring work in enabling their children to occupy a place as future citizens. It also interrogates how immigration and integration policies produce particular obstacles and limitations for migrant families and children.

Call for Papers: International Conference "Cross-border migration and its implications for the Central European Area" (5-7th November 2014)

The objective of this regional international conference is to evaluate both the positive and problematic nature of crossborder migration, and highlight the need for politicians to deal with the problematic side of migration. The need to focus attention on this issue has been brought about by the fact that Central European countries form not only the transit countries of these migrations, but also countries from which immigrants leave to work abroad. At the same time, these countries are gradually becoming countries of destination for migrants.

A new MPC Policy Brief "One million Syrians in Lebanon : a milestone quickly passed" by Cameron Thibos (Migration Policy Centre, RSCAS, EUI)

Lebanon received its one-millionth refugee from Syria on April 3rd, an event that the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), the UN’s refugee agency, called a “devastating milestone.”  Unfortunately, markers such as these only show the distance travelled but not how far is left to go. This one was quickly passed and there is still no end in sight.

Conference: Polish Migrants' Experience of Life in the UK since 2004, University College London, School of Slavonic and East European Studies (17-18 April 2015)

Ten years since Poland’s EU accession, it seems appropriate to take stock of the current state of knowledge about Polish migration to the UK. Public discourse in the UK has focused largely on the impact of Polish migration on the British economy and public services. By contrast, scholarly research has tended to explore the perspectives of Poles themselves.
