UCL Migration Week 2011

Monday 4th April to Friday 8th April 2011

UCL Migration Week was a series of lectures, panel discussions, conferences and exhibitions, which explored migration from a number of academic perspectives. Jessica Allen, Project Director of the Michael Marmot Review Team, examined the health inequalities of migrants across Europe while Gayle Mundro, UCL Geography, chaired a panel discussion following readings from two controversial contemporary plays.

The Week concluded with a major interdisciplinary conference, Migration: Economic Change, Social Challenge convened by the NORFACE Research Programme on Migration and the Centre for Research and Analysis of Migration (CReAM) which brought together around 300 scholars from subject areas such Economics, Sociology, Psychology, Demography, Anthropology, Education, Geography, Political Science, and Development Studies.

UCL Migration Week was organised by UCL Grand Challenge of Intercultural Interaction and CReAM (the UCL Centre for Research and Analysis of Migration) and co-funded by the NORFACE Research Programme on Migration.
