Doctor in Social Anthropology and Ethnology at EHESS, Francesco Madrisotti's research focused on transnational mobilities and economic activities created by West African migrants settled in Morocco. Through his Ph.D thesis, he showed that these migrants are the actors of a subordinate mobility based on informal economic activities. In order to prove so he made a two year ethnography including participant observations and semi-structured interviews in Tangier-Morocco. After obtaining his Ph.D, he joined the project Momentum (CNRS- URMIS, University of Paris) as postdoctoral researcher. In this position, using an experimental methodology and through the quantitative analysis, he studied discriminatory treatment towards the Muslim population. He was particularly interested in the expression of degrading attitudes through non-verbal language in face-to-face interactions. To study these behaviours, he carried out field experiments based on an audio-visual data collection device in the Paris and Brussels subways stations. Generally speaking, his research work aims to integrate qualitative and quantitative approaches as well as algorithms and big data analysis techniques into the analysis of transnational mobility and discrimination. Since October 2020, he has been working as a postdoctoral researcher in the MigraChiCovid project at the CERMES3 research center (CNRS-EHESS-INSERM-University of Paris).

I am a research fellow (postdoc starting November 2023) at the Center for Governance and Culture in Europe (GCE), University of St. Gallen, Switzerland. I study irregularised migration and removal as an anthropologist and work at the intersections of critical border studies and the field of “affective sciences” to bring to light the undeniable power of emotions, feelings, motivations, moods, and other affective processes in the migratory lives of people subjected to unequal mobility through restrictive border regimes.

I am a social and political psychologist whose research seeks to support dialogue between citizens and their governments on vexed political questions such as migration, sovereignty, European and Global citizenship.
I moved from the Scottish Government to the Open University in 2007. As a psychologist I am particularly interested in the conditions when people move from public opinion to public dialogue.
My starting point is that public decision-making on migration, citizenship and the boundaries of belonging often inter-relate with an individual's own degree of migration-mobility. I measure this using a 10-point Migration-Mobility Continuum. I have set out the relationship between the MMC and integration, citizenship, populism, sense of home and one-world narrative (OWN) in a series of open-access publications.

Sowmya Maheswaran is doing her PhD at the Institute of European Ethnology at Humboldt University (Berlin) and is a doctoral fellow of the Hans Böckler Foundation. At the intersection of global and political anthropology, her dissertation deals with political subjectivities of dissidents and their cultures of resistance in violent contexts. Postcolonial negotiations and global entanglements of racism, nationalism, and migration/(im-)mobilities in war and post-war situations form her central lines of research. The ethnographic focus of the ongoing PhD project is on Tamil conflicts and struggles in Sri Lanka and related transnational diaspora movements.

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.
