About this Event:

Janine Dahinden, University of Neuchâtel and Louise Ryan, London Metropolitan University are pleased to announce the launch of this special issue which they guest-edited.

In this webinar, they will present the manifold ways social network research has the potential to address how major pitfalls in migration studies are confronted.

Contributors will discuss how applying a qualitative approach to social networks can overcome metaphoric uses of ‘network’ as well as nation-state and ethnicity-centered epistemologies.

Guest Speakers:

– Başak Bilecen, University of Groningen, The Netherland
– Marta Kindler, University of Warsaw, Poland
– Miranda Jessica Lubbers, Autonomous University of Barcelona, Spain
– Martine Schaer, University of Neuchâtel, Switzerland
– Markus Gamper, University of Cologne, Germany

We are pleased that Jonathan Beaverstock, University of Bristol, co-editor of Global Networks, will also join the event and say a few words about the special issue.

The Global Diversities and Inequalities Research Centre is a home for interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary scholarship that explores migration, diasporas, nations, regions and localities through the lenses of diversity and inequality.
