International Migration Conference

By immigrationprof

The Kennan Institute and the Comparative Urban Studies Project (CUSP) of the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars are sponsoring a conference on “Transnational Migration to New Regional Centers: Policy Challenges, Practice, and the Migrant Experience.”

The meeting will be held at the Woodrow Wilson Center for International Scholars in Washington, DC on Wednesday, June 4, 2008.

The conference will bring together leading specialists from Africa, Europe, and Central and North America to discuss how new migrant communities are transforming cities around the world.  The Kennan Institute will also share its most recent research on Moscow and Kyiv as major migrant recipient centers.  Several recent CUSP programs have examined the dynamic relationship between migration and urbanization, exploring how migrants are shaping the cities where they live and in turn, how urban life is transforming migrant groups.  One goal of the conference is to use a comparative research approach to further the current understanding of migration.
