Project Details
Description
In my Ph.D. I explore the emerging transatlantic migration system between West Africa and South America. My aim is to generate a nuanced empirical knowledge on transnational frontier migration by following a group of Senegalese migrants in Buenos Aires, and their transnational connections to families and friends back home. My PhD is part of the larger program: New Geographies of Hope and Despair. The social effects of migration management for West African migrants, where 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.
