MMB Europe

Within MMB there is a wide and active group of scholars researching migration and mobility related issues across Europe. Working across many different disciplines their key areas of interest include:

  • how borders within Europe are being transformed by new digital technologies
  • ways in which migration regimes create, protect or make vulnerable migrants
  • histories of trade and movement across the continent
  • border work and workers
  • Intersection between migration and race

Exciting Research Projects Underway in and on Europe

Here are just a few examples involving MMB members:

European Academic Collaborations

Malmö Institute for Studies of Migration, Diversity and Welfare (MIM)

Malmö Institute for Studies of Migration, Diversity and Welfare (MIM) is an international research centre with a multidisciplinary profile and a strong international presence. Within the centre and its extensive network, researchers develop, explore and exchange knowledge of international migration and ethnic diversity. As Malmö City Guest Professor in Migration Studies (March-June 2022), MMB Director Bridget Anderson helped to connect both the Universities and the cities. Since then, several other MMB colleagues have participated in symposia and workshops hosted by MIM.

ACH

ACH is a social enterprise providing supported accommodation, and tailored integration services that not only help individuals, but also disrupt the systems that have entrenched inequalities in our society. MMB is working with ACH to ensure that support for migrant communities enables people to live independent, ambitious lives with greater access to opportunities. One strand of this is our seminar series, which has explored topics such as the concept of “integration”, migrant entrepreneurship, the consequences of No Recourse to Public Funds, housing and more. We also participate in projects like ACH’s Migrant Business Support, and previously, the University of Bristol’s ESRC-funded Everyday Integration
