Workshop 2: Migration, immigration, and NTA

Coordinated by Jorge Bravo and Gretchen Donehower

The purpose of this workshop is to establish a working group on how NTA research can speak to issues around migration and immigration. Many of us have worked on related issues and it is a great opportunity to share methods and experiences and develop further innovative research ideas in this crucial area where so many member countries are experiencing rapid change and looking for research-informed policy recommendations. We will start with short presentations from a group of NTA researchers who have worked on migration and immigration using NTA tools and then have a moderated discussion to include other related work going on in the network, promising future directions to enhance policy relevance and international comparability of results, and what a common framework and collaboration strategy might be to make progress in this area. All are welcome. To be included in the email list for this working group, please email Jorge Bravo at jhbravos@gmail.com.
