Gender and migration (the Netherlands 1945-2005)
Projects ''Migration and Global Interdependence''Gender and migration (the Netherlands 1945-2005)
To fully understand the causes and effects of migration and settlement processes in the current globalising world, a long timeframe and a global perspective are essential. Historical migration studies have long focused primarily on the European and Atlantic worlds. In this programmatic and long term project, we aim to broaden the perspective to include the full migration experience of the non-Western world while proposing both a short and long term series of studies to further this goal.
