The Migration and Citizenship Research Group brings together staff and postgraduate research students from across the social sciences: Human Geography, Law, Politics, Social Anthropology, Sociology and Social Policy.
The Research Group has an international focus, with members conducting research on global issues such as migration, displacement, cultural diversity, integration, citizenship, transnationalism, rights and development in Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and Europe.
Research Group members also deal with key local issues including devolution and national identity in Scotland, the dispersal of asylum seekers to Glasgow since the Asylum and Immigration Act 1999, and A8 migration from Eastern Europe to Scotland since the expansion of the EU in 2004.
Our members are engaged in a range of research and teaching activities on migration and citizenship. The Research Group hosts fortnightly seminars, as well as frequent workshops, symposia, and conferences.
We have a lively group of postgraduate research students who organise a regular discussion group and an annual PhD workshop. We welcome enquiries and applications from potential new postgraduate students.
