The Migration & Indigeneity Group is an interdisciplinary group of migration scholars committed to exploring the intersection of migration studies and Indigeneity.
Through reading, discussing, teaching, writing, and engaging in dialogue with scholars and activists, our group seeks to advance the Indigenization of migration studies, both through teaching and research.
Research Areas
Our research is interdisciplinary in focus and includes various Migration & Indigeneity topics including:
- Settler Colonialism and Decolonization
- Borders and Sovereignty
- Indigenous Studies
Coordinators
The research group is co-led by Dr. Ayaka Yoshimizu, Associate Professor, Asian Studies and Dr. Antje Ellermann, Professor of Political Science and Founder and Co-Director of the Centre for Migration Studies.
