Migration is a global phenomenon of significant magnitude, and we are currently living in a time of unprecedented human displacement.
Migration Studies encompasses the forced or voluntary movement of persons from one place to another. In the present age, transnational migration sparks controversy, giving rise to numerous xenophobic movements in the United States and in many European countries, along with political instability and violence around the world.
In response to the serious social, economic, and political consequences of migration and displacement, the Center supports research geared toward understanding these consequences. The Center is also concerned with how to support service organizations and migrant communities in the Greater Pittsburgh area.
The mission of the Center is to foster scholarly inquiry and collaboration among Duquesne faculty, students, and community partners in order to:
Collaborate on research with fellow students, faculty, and community partners. Apply to our yearly research awards and contribute to work in Migration Studies. The Center and its faculty members support your research through awards, presentations, events, and mentorship.
Join the Migration Club . The Club initiates humanitarian outreach to our local community, and raises awareness on campus on various issues related to migration, displacement, and community building.
Apply to the Center's annual awards for faculty, undergraduate, and graduate students.
There are no upcoming events to display for this calendar.
