The Home-Migration Nexus: Home as a Window on Migrant Belonging, Integration and Circulation (HOMInG)

Date du début: 1 nov. 2016, Date de fin: 31 oct. 2021,

The experience of home lies at the core of everyday life, but only through migration is it revealed as a complex and elusive social construction, whose micro analysis illuminates macro social issues and problems. How home works in the life trajectories of those who left it behind, and what the search for home says of immigrant integration and of the influence of mobility on domesticity, are the ce...
