Flows and Dynamics
Global migration flows and the dynamics that drive, facilitate and inhibit migration are of key concern within this cluster of work.
Framed within investigation of the complex relationship between migration and social transformation, research in this cluster takes as a point of departure the need to view migration comprehensively as a process encompassing sending, transit and receiving regions. Cluster research seeks to understand the factors, networks and institutions that drive, facilitate or constrain migration; what migration goals, channels and impacts look like from sending country perspectives; and the dimensions of governance that shape migratory processes.
