Rethinking migration systems through a multi-dimensional approach
The Complex Migration Flows and Multiple Drivers in Comparative Perspective (MEMO) is a six-year-long (2022 - 2028) research project that examines internal, interregional, and intercontinental migration flows and drivers across three main regions: South/Southeast Asia [Bangladesh, Nepal and Malaysia], West Africa [Ghana, Nigeria, Senegal and the Ivory Coast| and the Americas | El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico and Canada]. With the generous funding of $2.5 million from SSHRC's Partnership Grant, MEMO brings together a diverse, multi-institutional and multi-disciplinary team of 38 academics and 32 partner organizations across three continents.
