The Migration Studies Society
The MIGRATION STUDIES SOCIETY aims to connect people in Oxford examining any facet of migration and cultural pluralism and build dialogue and relationships across disciplines and affiliations, by organising forums for socializing, resource and information sharing, and research support.
Society members include students and researchers from the Centre on Migration, Policy and Society (COMPAS), the Refugee Studies Centre (RSC), the International Migration Institute (IMI), anthropology, politics, history, geography, and sociology. Organization is conducted at weekly open meetings by a planning committee drawn from Society members.
Projects in the past have included regular social events, weekly newsletters, website building, research presentation seminars, publications, and special events such as speakers, field trips, workshops, and inter-university conferences and exchanges.
