Routes @ Exeter: Migration, Mobility and Displacement
Our network uses interdisciplinary research to enable its members to engage collaboratively in investigation of all aspects of human mobility, migration and displacement. We draw from a variety of disciplinary traditions to create new knowledge, and to intervene in debates, policy processes and practice on these issues. In so doing we aim to build understanding, capacity, and to attain sustainability, through reciprocal knowledge-sharing with colleagues, students and organisations in and outside academia, as well as to create links with other groups working in this field.
