Abstract

This chapter draws on papers presented at an interdisciplinary conference on migration, each of which showcases a thematic approach to this complex phenomenon favoured in social and cultural anthropology. From an anthropological perspective, the papers of this chapter address the dynamics of migration, identity and belonging. The theme of the panel migration, identity and belonging was intentionally framed in a broad way. This allowed for anthropological contributions to the interdisciplinary field of migration studies to be discussed via aspects of migration processes that anthropologists regularly attend to.
