Conference on Theories of Migration and Social Change
The Conference was organised in response to an IMISCOE call for proposals for conferences on: ‘fundamental and strategic issues in theories, concepts and methodologies for the study of migration and integration’. It took the form of a fairly small ‘expert symposium’. The event opened with a keynote address by Professor Alejandro Portes of Princeton University on `Migration and Social Change’. We hoped to make innovative and significant contributions to theory and methodology: themes included `theories of global mobility’, `gender in the migratory process’, and `transnationalism and the migratory process’.
