    Project Details

    Description

    The social effects of migration management for West African migrants. ‘New Geographies of Hope and Despair’ is a four-year research programme on West African migration. We explore how migration management and the combat against irregular migration reshape mobility and livelihood strategies as well as hope, opportunity, risk and failure among migrants, their families and communities. We thereby aim to offer new insights to ethnographic studies on migration, mobility and globalization processes. The programme is financed by the Danish Research Council for Independent Research - Humanities.
