overview
The Centre for Migration, Diaspora, Citizenship and Identity brings together interdisciplinary scholars, and key stakeholders, to help shape public awareness, inform policy, generate high quality research, and support best practice around migration processes, diaspora movements, citizenship and identity.
At CMDCI we seek to facilitate dialogue, as well as advocate for, and strengthen, evidence-based analysis and discourse around the nexus of migration, diaspora, citizenship and identity in the contemporary world. The Centre includes academic members from a range of backgrounds and specialisations, who are actively involved in research across a variety of projects. CMDCI is based within the School of Education and Social Science, but also maintains strong links with Schools across the wider University. We also work within several established networks, as well as with local, national and international governments and community organisations.
