From 1–4 July, the 22nd IMISCOE Annual Conference will take place in Paris-Aubervilliers. Exploring the theme `Decentering migration studies´, the conference brings together researchers, policymakers and practitioners from around the globe to reevaluate migration research. The conference seeks to reshape epistemological frameworks by moving beyond dominant Western paradigms and challenging conventional narratives. The intersection of migration studies, diversity and their public perception will serve as a focal point.
