In 2011-2012, the reading group will once again meet on a fortnightly basis. Students and staff are invited to discuss key texts in the field, which can then be used as a platform for debates on particular research interests. The issues could include but are not limited to: migration and development; highly skilled immigration; refugee policy; immigration law; theories of migration; migration and integration; family migration; and, international coordination of migratory flows.
