Welcome to Migration Matters, a unique scholarly initiative beginning its second year, that showcases migration scholars and scholarship at York University. Through a series of seminars and roundtable discussions, performances and more, we hope to continue to spark university-wide conversations and collaborations that address migration-related matters from a wi
de range of perspectives and fields of study. This project is currently hosted by the Centre for Refugee Studies and with the support of the Office of the Vice President, Research & Innovation.
We know that there are many scholars at York who research with a lens on migration, immigration, transnationalism, settlement, refugee studies, and more, engaging in thought-provoking and meaningful work. This series is a forum for interdisciplinary discussion, providing opportunities to share knowledge and hear what others are passionate about. We also hope this will be a chance to meet each other and create connections.
