2022-2024 : Affiliation with the Convergences Migrations Institute – POLICY Department – “Cities and migrations” research group

Recent research on migration in France and around the world has often focused on the ‘city’, understood in a variety of ways – as a collective actor, as a living space for migrant populations, as an institutional actor – depending on the disciplines and perspectives adopted by the researchers. Although several disciplines come together around these fields of observation, it is clear that dialogue could be strengthened in order to understand what working on ‘cities’ and ‘migration’ can and cannot bring together. In this respect, the ‘Policy’ department of the IC Migrations is a relevant forum to encourage dialogue between a wide range of work on ‘cities’ and ‘migration’.
