Project Description

This intensive four-week summer research program introduces high school and undergraduate students to contemporary migration studies through three thematic tracks: Technology, Climate Change, and Media Representation. A limited group of six selected students will work on campus in close collaboration with the research team. Each thematic track will be assigned two students to ensure personalized mentoring and in-depth engagement. Participants will follow sessions of the IR 314 International Migration summer course and participate in guided workshops, seminars, and research meetings. Instead of conducting interviews with vulnerable populations, students will work with publicly available academic, policy, and media sources. This approach ensures high ethical standards without requiring formal ethics approval. Through collaborative research and production, students will transform theoretical knowledge into concrete academic and creative outputs.
