Its official...the next five years of my life will be spent as Director of a new @UKRI_News @GCRF South-South Migration, Inequality and Development Hub focusing on relationships between #migration #inequality and process of #development across 12 countries ukri.org/news/global-re…
Migration between countries in Global South accounts for nearly half of all international migration, 70% in some places, contributing to delivery of #SDGs by creating opportunities for work and the transfer of resources, knowledge and skills. But...
...as @Tanjabastia and others have shown, there is a relationship between #migration and #inequality. Benefits of #SouthSouthmigration are undermined by inequalities in migration opportunities and by limited and unequal access to rights for migrants and families. Meanwhile...
...migration research is heavily skewed towards Europe/N America where politics of migration drive policy development and research funding is available. The result? #SouthSouthmigration is often neglected or seen primarily from perspective of Global North themigrationist.net/2014/02/06/sou…
By building research capacity within and between the countries of the #GlobalSouth the #UKRI #GCRF South-South Migration, Inequality and Development Hub will disrupt dominant ways of thinking about, understanding and representing #migration. It's my privilege to be its Director
New #UKRI #GCRF South-South Migration Inequality and Development Hub will work with partners in the UK and 12 countries in #GlobalSouth focusing on the two-way movement of people, resources, knowledge and skills and developmental ripple-effects in sending and receiving countries
The Hub is inherently #interdiciplinary drawing in perspectives from across social sciences as well as arts and humanities. And it brings together some of the the most committed and creative people I know inc @alison_phipps @TimUnwin @j_hagenzanker @nassimmajidi @lorenlandau
Also very much looking forward to working with @lhammondsoas whose excellent work with the @LIDC_UK @migration_team has generated some fascinating and important #MigrationConversations on which we will be drawing for the Hub soas.ac.uk/lidc-mlt/
Plus I finally get to work with the wonderful @PosNegOrg who combine ethnographic research with illustration, adapting personal testimonies into art, advocacy and education materials to open up the political for alternative policy approaches to #migration
Our communications and policy engagement strategy will be led by @j_hagenzanker and @_amy_leach at @ODIdev whose work on #migration and #SDGs has strongly influenced thinking of new #UKRI #GCRF #SouthSouthMigration #Inequality and #Development Hub for odi.org/sites/odi.org.…
There are many, many more involved in #UKRI #GCRF #SouthSouthMigration #Inequality and #Development Hub including @Samuel_Hall_ @iLabAfrica @UNmigration @OECD_Centre @ilo @UNDP @OHCHR_Europe @UNRISD not to mention our research partners in #GlobalSouth Watch this space for more!

Like everyone else who leads/works with @GCRF funded projects, I'm reeling from news that our budgets are to be slashed and grants terminated. We learnt about this through a public announcement on the @UKRI_News, no-one even had decency to consult with or advise us beforehand 1/
This announcement was made, ironically, on the very same day that we made our ResearchFish submission, a hellish bureaucratic system of reporting our outputs, engagements and impacts so that we can 'prove' to @UKRI_News that we are doing what we said we would do with the money 2/
Our @MIDEQHub ResearchFish submission ran to more than 250 pages of publications and engagement activities with impacts on policy debates, training, media outputs and more, all carefully documented, detailed and entered into the system 3/

'The artist and the professor, the mother and the wife' is now online for all to see. This collaboration with @LauraNyahuye of @maokwo was one of the most intense experiences, personal or professional, of my entire life and my feelings about 'going public' are mixed ...(1/?) Image
On the one hand I feel incredibly proud (a word I generally avoid) of the beautiful things that we have created together. I'm overwhelmed by the beauty in fact. The images. The words. These were created in the intense lockdown days and they take me back to that place...(2/?) Image
The lockdown forced us to stop and reflect on our lives and the work we both do in ways that would never have happened otherwise. Being forced to 'Stop', to have the opportunity to 'Breathe' was a major theme and recurring theme of our collaboration (3/?) theartistandtheprof.art.blog/2020/07/03/sto… Image

On Monday 14th Sept we will be launching #theartistandtheprof, an artistic collaboration between myself and @LauraNyahuye @maokwo exploring themes of #migration #identity #belonging and what it means to be boxed in and categorised as #migrants #women #mothers #wives...(1/?) Image
Funded by @covcampus @warwickuni as part of @Coventry2021 this collaboration has been undertaken entirely online during the #COVID19 #lockdown It's been a powerful and challenging experience for many different reasons. We've laughed and cried, written and woven... (2/?) Image
For both of us this is the first time that we've had an opportunity to #stop #breathe #pause and reflect on the ways in which our own and societal expectations of gendered and racialized roles and responsibilities have shaped our lives #morethanalabel #beyondcategories (3/?) Image

My latest @scmrjems article with Katharine Jones draws on our #MEDMIG data to unpack the idea that the places people move to outside Europe are always 'in-between' and never intended as 'destinations', an idea that feeds into anti-immigrant discourses...
tandfonline.com/eprint/MCBPYQ2… Image
Treating these places as 'in-between' reinforces the notion that 'everyone' is heading to Europe when they very clearly are not. In reality most people remain in the same region and rebuild their lives in these places. The notion of 'transit countries' serves the same purpose
Our evidence suggests that it is only when life becomes untenable and a decision is made to move that these places take on a state of ‘in-betweenness’, most commonly as part of a personal narrative mobilised by migrants to make sense of the broader arc of their life experiences

Yesterday's speech by @antonioguterres hit so many nails on head. #COVID-19 is shining spotlight on global injustices and issues ignored for decades: inadequate health systems; structural inequalities; environmental degradation; the climate crisis un.org/sg/en/content/…
#COVID19 is not 'the great equaliser', we are not 'all in the same boat' Image
Importantly @antonioguterres points to long term inequalities associated with colonisation and the unequal incorporation of countries into the global economic system as a key causal factor. It's rare to have such explicit acknowledgement of how we came to be in this mess Image

Never tried to live tweet from an online event but 4th UNESCO Chair currently being live-streamed contains powerful and moving material which speaks to me strongly in the context of #RefugeeWeek2020 and more generally and needs to be heard so I’m going to give it a try... Image
The words and experiences of refugees frame everything that’s being said but within that the gendering of refugee experiences, of human experiences of forced movement, relations between mothers and children Image
Integration is such a difficult concept, one of things that the team tries to do - and has done over previous lectures - is to introduce new ways of thinking about integration. The theme for this year’s lecture is ‘contemplative seeing’ as a way of reflecting on these processes
