In recent years, ‘migration infrastructure’ has become a widely used conceptual lens and analytical framework in the study of cross-border labour migration. Meanwhile, the concept of the ‘transnational labour market’ draws on economic sociology's theories of markets to show the mechanisms that shape the forms and outcomes of this migration. This workshop brings together senior scholars who developed these concepts and early-career researchers who use them to study the cross-border migration of students and workers. Participants will assess how productive each framework has been, explore how the two can inform each other, and chart directions for developing them further, with the aim of deepening our understanding of migration processes and their outcomes.
Closed workshop, participation by invitation only
