This event will examine recent research on migration and mobility in Ghana and West Africa, and discuss its implications and future trajectory.
Four experts in the field will present completed and ongoing research on movement within and across regions and countries. The themes addressed include the movement of youth, the role of environmental change, and the significance of inter-rural migration as well as migration between urban areas and their hinterlands. Presenters will hold a discussion, which will touch on the potential impacts of recent events, particularly the Covid-19 pandemic, on such migration and mobility. Participants are invited to bring their questions to the discussion, which will aim to sketch out important directions for research in this field in the coming period.
