Migration & Borders

This Working Group provides an active network for migration scholars at any stage in their academic career to share knowledge on theoretical, methodological, and empirical insights, learn from and engage with other scholars, and promote public outreach.

In addition to organizing a panel at the annual NNHRR toogdag, the Working Group regularly organizes internal and external events, which are often co-developed by the coordinators and Working Group members. One of the aims of such events is to collectively discuss thematic or methodological issues related to migration, borders, and human rights, often guided by the respective interests of Working Group members. Also, members may use this platform to present their work to others and receive feedback from peers. Typically, such events further involve social get-togethers, allowing our members to connect and network with one another in a more informal manner.

In addition, the Working Group has its own newsletter, updating its members not only on the internal activities, but also on relevant external events or publications of members.
