Migration
Migration is a global phenomenon tied to social inequality and processes of inclusion and exclusion. Understanding modern mobility, efforts to manage migration through policies and politics in everyday practices and through governance, and bordering processes require interdisciplinary approaches.
Main content
At UiB, researchers at different departments conduct individual and collective research projects on migration related topics. UiB will offer an interdisciplinary MA in Migration and Integration in collaboration with Roskilde University (RUC) in Denmark (to commence in 2023).
The Bergen School of Global Studies will bring together researchers and scholars interested the study of migration and modern mobility and their global challenges. Migration research ties strongly to themes in Bergen School of Global Studies, such as inequality, climate change, health, and governance.
