About the Event
The Program on African Social Research (PASR) invites proposals to participate in a workshop on African migration to be held January 14-16, 2022, in partnership with the Department of Sociology at Rabat International University in Morocco.
Migration within and beyond African borders has accelerated rapidly in recent decades. According to the African Union, between 2008 and 2017, intra-African migration increased from 13.3 million to 25.4 million, with the top receiving African states being South Africa, Cote d'Ivoire, Uganda, Nigeria, and Ethiopia. In addition, migration within African countries has increased including both rural to urban migration as well as migration between rural areas. Finally, while the increased flow of migrants to Europe has been well documented, less is known about the increase in African migration to other regions including the Middle East, China and the Americas.
This workshop will look at the politics and economics of this mass movement of people…
