Our 2024 theme, Belonging and Mobility in a Transnational World, encapsulates the complex interplay between identity, movement, and connectivity across borders.

This year, we are honoured to welcome Professor Nina Glick Schiller as the in-person keynote speaker. Her hybrid talk, titled “The End of Migration as We Know It: Studying and Opposing Regimes of Dehumanization,“ will take place on Wednesday, May 15, from 9:30 AM to 11:00 AM (PDT). It will explore how today’s intense anti-migration politics are producing the end of migration as we know it and the emergence of migration regimes of rightless labour and permanent transience.
All panels are open to the public, but we kindly ask for your RSVP. RSVPs are required for conference lunches.
