Migration in Contentious Political Times

The Migrations Program is bringing together migration scholars for a conference about migration, sustainability, and belonging in the contemporary moment. Students, scholars, and researchers from the Cornell community will share work that examines human mobility as a sociolegal and political process shaped by borders, state power, labor markets, and inequality.

Submit Your Abstract

We're currently soliciting abstracts from undergraduate and graduate students, faculty, and the community that examine human mobility as a sociolegal and political process shaped by borders, barriers, state power, labor markets, changing environments, and inequality. We welcome submissions that situate migration within broader ecological and social systems as well as contemporary and historical contexts. Submit your abstract by May 1.

This conference is hosted by the Migrations Program, part of the Einaudi Center for International Studies, and organized by Migrations graduate fellows Vicente Celestino Mata, Jr. and Adolfho Romero.
