Conference tackles migration

More than 100 global leaders in migration research, policy and advocacy gather June 11 to 13 at the University of Victoria

More than 100 global leaders in migration research, policy and advocacy gather June 11 to 13 at the University of Victoria for the inaugural Migration & Late Capitalism – Critical Intersections with the Asia-Pacific and Beyond conference.

In 2013, more than 230 million people, or 3.2 per cent of the world’s population, were migrants — a number that continues to rise in the face of increasing economic and environmental pressures.

Presented by the Centre for Asia-Pacific Initiatives’ Migration and Mobility Program, the three-day conference offers new theoretical directions, interdisciplinary approaches and critical dialogues on migration and mobility with a particular, but not exclusive, focus on the geopolitics of the Asia-Pacific region.

Visit uvic.ca/capi for more information and conference registration. The Migration & Late Capitalism Conference runs June 11 at 7 p.m. to June 13 at 6 p.m. in the Fraser Building at UVic.
