Description

Migration and Mobility Studies have been highly focused in Global North countries. Although there is a growing number of scholars researching migration and mobility in Latin America, most of this literature is not considered in the Global North due to epistemic injustice and language barriers. This Roundtable proposes a open discussion with Latin American researchers working in the UK and in Latin America countries to understand more migration and mobility studies from a Latin American perspective.

Chair: Dr Patricia Nabuco Martuscelli (Co-Director of MRG)
