Migration, Diversity and Welfare
IMISCOE 16th Annual Conference
The International Migration, Integration and Social Cohesion in Europe (IMISCOE) is Europe’s largest interdisciplinary research network in the field of migration, integration and diversity studies. The network’s conference, which has been running since 2004, will next take place at Malmö University between June 26-28. This year’s theme will be ‘Understanding International Migration in the 21st Century: Conceptual and Methodological Approaches’.
Publications
Our researchers frequently contribute to highly-regarded national and international journals. Articles and books are published by the centre’s staff and affiliated researchers, and are available to purchase and download.
MIM Working Paper Series
MIM Working Paper Series is a collection of articles designed to communicate work in progress that is yet to be published by disseminating key findings related to the centre’s core research themes. Our latest paper: The Divergent Convergence of Multiculturalism Policy in the Nordic Countries (1964 - 2006): Immigration Size, Policy Diffusion and Path Dependency is written by Mahama Tawat.
International migration and ethnic relations
The aim of the professorship is to strengthen research at Malmö University within the field of IMER. As IMER has a strong international network, the City of Malmö sought, via the guest professorship, to strengthen contacts with international experts in order to ensure that they would become an integral part of research and teaching. An international guest professorship creates a constant and dynamic exchange of knowledge and enhances the centre’s academic strength. The donation also funds a research fellow and a PhD position.
Who was Willy Brandt?
Willy Brandt was West Germany’s Chancellor between 1969-1974. He was forced to seek refuge in Sweden during the Second World War and developed strong ties with the country. In order to emphasise the importance and status of the scientific investment, the City of Malmö obtained the family’s permission to name a guest professorship after him.
Current guest professor
Ellen Percy Kraly will be the Wily Brandt Guest Professor for 2019. She holds the title of William R. Kenan Jr. Professor of Geography and Environmental Studies at Colgate University. She is also Chair of the International Union for the Scientific Study of Population’s Scientific Panel on International Migration, and is organising a workshop on the demography of refugees for the National Academy of Sciences.
Kraly’s scholarship has addressed: the demography of refugee and forced migration; the relationship between immigration and US population and environment; emigration; international migration statistics; immigrant incorporation; population data systems, and human rights.
Kraly was a member of the National Academy of Sciences’ Panel on Immigration Statistics and has prepared reports on topics including international migration data and immigration policies for the United Nations Statistical Commission, National Academy of Sciences, US Immigration and Naturalization Service, US Census Bureau and US Commission on Immigration Reform.
