Thrilled to be participating in the #MIGNEX24 conference convened by COMPAS for the next 2 days. Excellent opportunity to present joint work with Melissa Siegel Dr Jessica Hagen-Zanker Katrin Marchand in the 1st panel on Aid, Development & Migration. Looking forward to Day 2!

Starting Day 2 of the #MIGNEX24 conference COMPAS with a keynote by the wonderful @marysetrana, who unfortunately could not make it in person due to visa delays (this in itself reinforcing the many inequalities & challenges in migration from the global south)

Really looking forward to presenting evidence from #MIGNEX on when migration leads to positive & negative effects at this panel organized by the wonderful Marta Bivand Erdal & Karen Liao🙂. Also very excited to meet in beautiful Lisbon ☀️. See you soon! #IMISCOE2024
