Short description
The Migration Studies Ph.D. Summer School (MISSCHO) 2024 provides an intensive program that enhances the research exchanges among the group of universities participating. It aims at bringing together researchers who are working on migration-related issues from different disciplines in the Humanities and Social Sciences.
This 4th edition aims at encouraging dialogue around migration transformations and its relation to digital technologies. New data sources and methodologies, empirical findings, practical and theoretical challenges, among others, are topics addressed in this edition. The summer school challenges the traditional approaches to migration policy and integration, not only theoretically but also at methodological level and everyday practice.
It therefore invites researchers to submit contributions focusing on (but not exclusively) the themes listed below:
- New data sources for studying internal and international migration
- Socio-economic and environmental drivers of migration
- Analysing incorporation and segregation of migrants’ communities
- Modelling patterns of mobility
- Use of AI methods for analysing migration
- Evaluation of migration and development policies
- (Re)shaping research paradigms and methodologies in migration studies
Considering the different topics that the Ph.D. students are developing in their studies, the common concern on methodologies, categories and approaches of analysis will be the main instrumental focus. Therefore, it will be required that students work in teams and prepare presentations to debate on.
We will be accepting applications until June 10, 2024. It closes at midnight (CET). Acceptance and further steps will be notified June 12, 2024. Applicants must pay the registration fee by June 29, 2024.
