The Migratory Movements Group is a multidisciplinary research group based at the University of Girona (UdG), specialised in the study of migration, mobility, diversity, and social inclusion from a critical and socially engaged perspective. The group brings together researchers from sociology, education, social pedagogy, anthropology, and related social sciences, with a strong commitment to applied research, policy relevance, and community engagement.
The group is closely linked to the Master’s Programme in Migratory Movements at UdG, one of the few specialised postgraduate programmes on migration in Spain, and has extensive experience in interdisciplinary research, doctoral training, and international collaboration. Its members participate actively in European and international research networks and projects, including Horizon Europe and Erasmus+, and play leading roles in knowledge transfer initiatives with public administrations, civil society organisations, and local communities.
Research within the Migratory Movements Group addresses key themes such as migration and education, youth transitions, social mentoring, inequalities and discrimination, citizenship and participation, well-being and mental health, and the role of institutions and policies in shaping migratory experiences. Methodologically, the group combines qualitative, quantitative, and participatory approaches, with a strong emphasis on co-production of knowledge and ethically grounded research practices.
Rooted in Catalonia and strongly connected to European and global debates, the Migratory Movements Group positions itself as a hub for critical reflection and socially relevant research on migration, contributing both to academic advancement and to the promotion of more inclusive and democratic societies.
