Strangers in New Homelands Conference

This annual gathering of researchers, academics, and practitioners in the migration and settlement field, dubbed Strangers in New Homelands: Deconstructing and Reconstructing of ‘Home’ among immigrants and refugees in the diaspora launched in 2008.

The conference has run through very critical times in world migration history: the unprecedented displacement and movements of people from their homes into other countries, especially to Europe seeking safety as well as better life conditions. The images of these mass movements are sometimes nerve-wrecking and difficult to watch. These are new forms of diasporic movements in which desperate people are challenging the existing national borders of nation states.
