Migration, Mobility and Identity
Aims:
The project focuses on exploring the multifaceted experiences of migrant academics and educators, within various educational environments. It investigates how migration and mobility influence these individuals’ professional identities, examining themes such as exclusion, integration, precarity, and the impact of working abroad. By highlighting the cultural and structural factors that shape their professional lives and identities, the project aims to provide comprehensive insights into the challenges and contributions of migrant scholars and educators, including specific aspects related to gender and generational differences.
