Migrants in the City: New Dynamics of Migration in Urban Settings, 12-13 October, Sheffield

The Sheffield Methods Institute (SMI) is launching a conference with partners from Faculty of Social Science Migration Research Group and Applied Quantitative Methods Network (AQMeN) on 12th & 13th October at Culter's Hall, Sheffield.

The international and interdisplinary conference will look at the key questions around international migration in relation to urban development, residential segregation and diversity. Migrants in the city will explore relationships between rapid urbanisation and international migration and how that in turn effects social issues like segregation, climate change, economic restructuring and spatial identity.

 

Panel session proposals and abstracts should be sent in Word format to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. by Friday 29 May 2015. The Conference Programme will be finalised in June and participants notified shortly thereafter.
