The Migrant Futures Institute will provide a platform for people to critically engage with migration issues, challenge existing paradigms, and envision migrant futures filled with hope, resilience, and dignity.
- Reshape the discourse and practices surrounding migration
- Sit at the forefront of innovative research and training in the field of migration studies
- Challenge conventional approaches to migration
- Serve as a dynamic space for critical inquiry, creative practice and collaboration.
We aim to work closely both with people with migrant and refugee backgrounds and in communities of welcome to amplify diverse voices, challenge dominant narratives, and foster deeper understandings of migration, citizenship, and belonging.
Professor Frances Corner OBE, Warden, Goldsmiths, University of London
