Welcome to the Centre for the Study of Global Human Movement |
|||||||||
|
The Centre for the Study of Global Human Movement aims to build on strong institutional engagement by the University with one of the greatest societal challenges of the 21st Century, that of human movement, dispersal, mobility, and migration.
Our goal is to create a trans-disciplinary centre of research excellence. This requires preparation of the intellectual ground as well as the establishment of genuine partnerships and collaboration. We do hope that you will get involved.
