The "Navigating Return Migration: What Next? Diplomacy, Infrastructures, and Pathways Beyond" Conference is a symposium that aspires to critically investigate the multiple dimensions of return migration at the nexus of policy, infrastructures, migrant experiences, international diplomacy, and ethics. This event examines the ethical, historical, infrastructural, and diplomatic aspects of return migration, as well as alternative policies and narrative methodologies that center migrant experiences. It thus aims to bridge the gaps between policy frameworks, the implementation of returns on the ground, and the lived realities of migrants regarding return migration.
