Call for Papers – Graduate Summer Institute on Skill Migration Flows and Borders in a Globalized World
Globalization allows the supply and demand for skills to converge across borders. The need for particular skills and professions has shaped international migration flows through files, bordering practices, and policies on foreign credential recognition. The Borders in Globalization Summer Institute in collaboration with the International Migration Research Centre is open to graduate students who are exploring skilled migration flows and barriers, and would like to receive mentorship from academics, government representatives, and other policy professionals. Student participants will have an opportunity to present their papers and participate in feedback-and-discussion panel sessions.
The Summer Institute will be followed by a two-day closed workshop on May 25-26 with a targeted focus on migration of skilled health professionals; please indicated in your submission whether you would like to be considered for participation in this workshop.
