Welcome
‘The mission of COMPAS is to conduct high quality research in order to develop theory and knowledge, inform policy-making and public debate, and engage users of research within the field of migration.’
The mobility of people is now firmly recognised as a key dimension shaping society today, but the relationship between migration and societal change is only partly understood. Research at the Centre on Migration, Policy and Society (COMPAS), core funded by the Economic and Social Research Council is geared to deepen the understanding of this relationship.
Research by Theme
The centre’s research is grouped around four inter-related thematic clusters:
- The dynamics of migration: focussing on the institutions, practices and relationships that shape experiences of life on the move
- Migrants and labour markets: analysing the socio-economics of international labour migration
- Migration, the state and governance: addressing dynamic inter-relationships between migration and the state
- Migrants, civil society and everyday life: exploring everyday social interactions of migrant and established communities
