The 22nd IMISCOE Conference took place between the 1st - 4th July in Paris. One of the biggest migration conferences, over 1,000 scholars convened in Paris, and more online. It is a great opportunity to exchange with emerging and established scholars in migration research and hear about the latest developments. Like all conferences conducted in the Global North, attendance is undermined by inequalities in mobility regimes. It is especially scholars from the Global South that are affected by issues like high participation costs, travel disruptions and visa refusals.
Franzisca Zanker co-organised a panel with Amanda Bisong and Cathrine Talleraas on "Decentering African Migration (Governance) Research" speaking to the annual theme, whilst also intentionally trying to move the conversation beyond Europe. The PolMig project will continue to do this in the years to come.
