Welcome to the NYU Migration Network
December Digest

Here are some updates and upcoming migration and mobility events for this month.

NYU Migration Network Spotlight

The NYU Migration Network is spotlighting new publications on migration by NYU faculty. We will feature a new interview every month with an NYU author about their recent book.

This month, we are excited to feature Ethiraj Gabriel Dattatreyan's new book, Digital Unsettling: Decoloniality and Dispossession in the Age of Social Media (co-authored with Sahana Udupa, NYU 2023), interviewed by Haneul Lee, a documentary filmmaker and a PhD candidate of the Martin Scorsese Department of Cinema Studies.

NYU Migration Network Graduate Student Workshop

Applications due on January 6, 2025!

The NYU Migration Network is organizing its second graduate student workshop for students working on questions of migration and mobility.

The goal of the workshop is to position Master’s and Doctoral students as leading migration scholars in their fields.

The workshop offers three types of support:

1.) The opportunity to build a multidisciplinary network with other scholars, both junior and senior, working on migration.

2.) Exposure to various disciplinary approaches to the study of migration and different media for representing research findings.

3.) Information and resources for professional development, including guidance on publication and grant preparation.

Migration and Im/mobility: Rising to the Challenge

Undergraduate Student Research Conference

This is an outstanding opportunity for undergraduate students from NYU to share their research on such topics as migration, mobility or immobility, borders, displacement, and asylum globally and locally.

Undergraduate students are encouraged to submit their ongoing research from a capstone research project or their findings from a paper or project completed in a previous semester.

Selected students will present their research and engage in discussion with each other on a panel moderated by a faculty member. These will be short presentations (no more than 8 minutes each) to allow ample time for moderated discussions.

Participation is open to all NYU undergraduate students from any school or major. To apply, please fill out the form by clicking the button below.

Important: All student presenters must be available to present either in-person (for students in NYC) or by Zoom (students at global sites, NYUAD or NYUSH) at the event on March 4. Guests will be invited to attend in-person or virtually.

Proposals are due Monday, February 3, 2025.

For questions, please email lsdeansoffice@nyu.edu
