Nikos Xypolytas is a sociologist focusing on migration and labour. His research interests highlight the importance of low-status work for migrant exclusion. The result of this research is the elaboration of a theoretical scheme that approaches migrant exclusion in a holistic manner by identifying different stages in the migration and integration processes. His latest research follows the same theoretical framework and focuses on the refugee crisis and its implications for the future integration of refugees in the host countries of Europe. He currently works at the Department of Sociology in University of the Aegean.

My interdisciplinary research connects the theoretical and conceptual borders of political science, sociology, and political psychology. Specifically, I work on migrant organisations in host countries (diaspora organizations) and recipient countries (civic networks and organizations that advocate refugee /migrant rights). In my current project, I investigate alternative communicative narratives that such organisations can adopt to reach out to the wider public. These communicative narratives reframe migrants and refugees as 'deserving' and 'rights-bearing agents' and seek to generate cross-partisan public deliberation and positive attitudes. In my current project, I combine fieldwork, network analysis, surveys and online randomized experiments to predict how social change for more inclusive societies can be initiated. This research aims to offer policy-relevant alternatives to change racialized attitudes of various ideological, socio-economic, and psychographic groups as well as non-citizens (migrants and refugees).

About the Migration Network Hub
What is the Migration Network Hub?
The Hub is a virtual “meeting space” where governments, stakeholders and experts can access and share migration-related information and services. It provides curated content, analysis and information on a variety of topics.
The Hub aims to support UN Member States in the implementation, follow-up and review of the Global Compact for Migration by serving as a repository of existing evidence, practices and initiatives, and facilitating access to knowledge sharing via online discussions, an expert database and demand-driven, tailor-made solutions (launching in 2021).
Submit your content
What content is displayed in the Hub?
The Hub aims to help you find information on migration, ranging from policy briefs and journal articles, existing portals and platforms and what they offer, to infographics and videos. The different types of resources submitted by users undergo peer review by a panel of experts from within the UN and beyond, before being approved for inclusion in the Hub. To provide guidance to users based on findings of the needs assessment, the content is ordered so that more comprehensive and global resources are shown before more specific and regional ones. Know a great resource? Please submit using the links above and your suggestion will be reviewed. Please see the draft criteria for existing practices here.
Apply to join the Peer Review Roster
Content submitted to the Migration Network Hub is first peer reviewed by experts in the field from both the UN and beyond. Applications are welcomed to join the roster on an ongoing basis. Learn more here.
