Deze twee weken is het Refugee Festival in Schotland. In Glasgow ben ik naar twee workshops geweest. Eentje ging over onderzoek door studenten en wetenschappers bij Meryhill Integration Network. Penar and Gianluca die voor die organisatie werken hebben een gedragscode voor onderzoekers opgesteld. Kwetsbare groepen als vluchtelingen en illegalen zijn immers mensen die soms tegen het enthousiasme van een onderzoeker moeten worden beschermd.  Ook vergeten onderzoekers soms hun resultaten terug te koppelen waardoor een organisatie er niet veel aan heeft te hebben meegewerkt. Penar en Gianluca bevelen ook aan dat studenten en promovendi in hun eindrapport de organisatie via wie het onderzoek is gedaan als partner vermelden. Verder veel over onderzoek doen doorgepraat. Denk aan valkuilen als het naar het gewenste resultaat toepraten. Die in de morgen gebruikte het Kelso viltsysteem om met een groep over integratie in Glasgow te praten. Dit is een boom maken op vilt en ja het klinkt z...

Stichting De Verre Bergen is a philanthropic foundation aimed at contributing to improve the city of Rotterdam. This foundation has developed a programme (Stichting Nieuw Thuis Rotterdam, SNTR) to promote the integration of Syrian families who have recently settled in Rotterdam. The programme focuses on learning the Dutch language, guidance in education and work, welcoming and getting to know the neighborhood and city, and stimulating self-sufficiency. In addition, apartments have been purchased for these families. The Erasmus University Rotterdam has been asked to follow the integration of these refugee families in Rotterdam and to determine the effect of the SNTR programme. The research will map the integration through a large-scale longitudinal survey and follow refugee families that participate in the SNTR programme and refugees who do not (comparison group participates in the integration programme of the municipality of Rotterdam). Through largely qualitative resear...

 Our project — “PATHWAYS TO POWER: THE POLITICAL REPRESENTATION OF CITIZENS OF IMMIGRANT ORIGIN IN SEVEN EUROPEAN DEMOCRACIES” — is a cooperative international endeavor on the political representation of citizens of immigrant origin in seven European Democracies. Over the past decades, European societies have grown increasingly ethnically diverse. Immigration is one of the most important challenges facing Europe today. Social and political participation constitutes the ultimate expression of integration in society. Our project seeks to advance knowledge on descriptive representation of citizens of immigrant origin at the national and regional levels over a twenty year period. Additionally, the project adds an innovative dimension by examining substantive representation of citizens of immigrant origin at the national level. We examine participation patterns in France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Netherlands, Spain, and United Kingdom. Our team includes over 20 scholars, wo...

  By jorgencarling on 25 July 2013 • ( 0 ) Here’s a list of migration researchers on Twitter – that is, people who do research on migration and share their ideas about it in English on Twitter. Many of them (myself included) tweet about other things as well, but I’ve restricted the list to people who will not flood your feed with chit-chat. (There are other migration-related twitter accounts too, such as research centres, journals, and NGOs, which are not included here.)

All lawyers know that research is key. Good research equals success, sloppy research equals all manner of problems. Naturally, we all want to do the highest quality research possible. But research is not cheap. On top of the time that it takes to read through cases, statutes, and treatises, we also need access to the right resources. What's more, in a small law practice time is always scarce. Solo practitioners and attorneys in two or three attorney firms don't have time to spend wading through barely relevant information. On top of that, lawyers who run removal defense practices are not exactly getting rich. Money is always a factor to consider. The big research services are great, but very expensive. Law libraries in courthouses and law schools are often free, but they are rarely located near an Immigration Court. And that's where crImmigration.com enters the picture. Given how much time I spend doing immigration law research for our firm and other attorneys...
