Migration Working Group

Directed by Rainer Bauböck

Migration studies is a multidisciplinary field that has been strongly represented in the academic research of all departments of the EUI and has formed a specific focus at the Robert Schuman Centre for Advanced Studies.

For several years, EUI faculty, fellows and researchers working on projects related to migration and the integration of immigrants have met in the Migration Working Group (MWG) to discuss their research.

The MWG provides an informal and congenial atmosphere for interdisciplinary debate. Demography, social geography, anthropology, history, economics, law, sociology, and political science are among the key disciplines represented in the MWG.

In the regular meetings of the MWG scholars present draft papers that have not yet been published and that are circulated to all registered on the mailing list. In each meeting a discussant kicks off the debate. Authors benefit from competent feedback before finalizing papers for publication and participants broaden their knowledge by engaging in a conversation across academic disciplines.

Timetable 2011-2012

The regular bi-weekly meetings of the Migration Working Group resume in mid October.

The meetings will be held on Wednesdays from 13:30 to 15:00 in Seminar Room 2 of the Badia Fiesolana.
