The Global Migration Center is pleased to invite you to its new event series, ‘Migration Talks’. This series of lectures has been designed to allow guest speakers from a variety of disciplines to present their works on the topic of migration and engage in discussion with the broader Graduate Institute community. This represents a unique opportunity for students, doctoral candidates, and researchers to network, discuss research, and foster interdisciplinary intellectual engagements over the crucial topic of migration in its multiple nuances.
