Granada invites Arqus doctoral students to the 4th edition of the MISSCHO Summer School on Migration Studies

The Institute for Migration Research of the University of Granada invites Arqus PhD students to participate in the MISSCHO – Migration Studies PhD Summer School 2024, which will take place from 8^th to 11^th July 2024. This 4^th edition is dedicated to “Migration in the digital era: challenging theory, methods and practice”.

The mail goal of MISSCHO is to bring together researchers who are working on migration-related issues from different disciplines in the humanities and social sciences. This 4^th edition aims at encouraging dialogue around migration transformations and its relation to digital technologies. New data sources and methodologies, empirical findings, practical and theoretical challenges, among others, are topics addressed in this edition. The Summer School challenges the traditional approaches to migration policy and integration, not only theoretically but also at methodological level and everyday practice.

The organisers invites Arqus researchers to submit contributions focusing on (but not exclusively) the themes listed below:

• New data sources for studying internal and international migration
• Socio-economic and environmental drivers of migration
• Analysing incorporation and segregation of migrants’ communities
• Modelling patterns of mobility
• Use of AI methods for analysing migration
• Evaluation of migration and development policies
• (Re)shaping research paradigms and methodologies in migration studies

Among 20-25 outstanding PhD students will be admitted (PhD students in the early stage of their PhDs, who are still designing or have recently submitted their research proposal). 5 Arqus PhD students will be selected and will benefit from the tuition waiver.

The application deadline is 10^th June 2024.
