I am a Postdoctoral researcher at the University of Groningen, currently on a research visit at the Max Planck Institute for the Study of Religious and Ethnic Diversity. I have previously held visiting research fellowships at the International Migration Institute in Oxford, the University of Amsterdam and the Central European Labour Studies Institute in Bratislava.
My research focuses on several aspects of the migration process, including its relationship with development and socio-spatial inequality, migrant's decision to migrate and destination choice, and the role of local policies in mediating the effects of im/e-migration. I am particularly interested in the policies and practices implemented by local governments in origin countries to minimize the negative effects of emigration and maximize the positive effects.
I have previously worked on projects for several governments and international organizations, including the European Commission, the International Labor Organization, the International Organization for Migration and ESPON, among others.

Ovgu Ulgen is a Ph.D. in Sociology from the University of Montreal. In her dissertation, which has been funded by FRQSC (Québec research funding) and IRTG Diversity, she sought to understand immigrant belonging at the intersection of language and religion. She examined how societal particularities of Montréal and Toronto embedded in the processes of negotiating the difference and created a complex relation between language and religion. She explored how the lived experiences of immigrants differed from one another and what it said about interculturalism and multiculturalism in Canada. She further looked at how relations between immigrants and the majority groups and inter and intra-ethnic relations formed and transformed in these processes. Her analysis of the relation between language and religion made it possible to make sense of the continuing salience of religion in the “post-secular” age in Canada, specifically, how cultural religion emerged as an important determinant of immigrant boundary making in the communities she interviewed, especially in Québec. She holds an MA degree in Sociology from the École des hautes études en sciences sociales (EHESS) in Paris. In her M.A. research, which was awarded a scholarship, she focused on forced migration, collective memory, and urban politics in a neighborhood of Istanbul, Turkey.

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.
