CPC/CG webinar - Migration governance for, of and against crisis | Professor Andrew Geddes Youtube. 2024
It's well known that there are real and pressing global challenges that could lead to the breakdown of natural and social systems - sometimes referred to as a 'polycrisis' - but does migration belong within this crisis thinking? Clearly, crisis thinking has become normalised in European migration governance and is projected into neighbouring countries and regions through these mutations. Political actors mobilise for crisis and an intellectual agenda supports mutations that catastrophise migration. Links between migration and climate change often seen as emblematic of polycrisis but conceptual flaws amplify the systemic breakdowns against which these ideas ostensibly warn. Extracting migration from this crisis thinking can illustrate how migration can be part of a solution to the deep-seated problems in social and natural systems that various notions of crisis claim to address.

CPC-CG Webinar - Internal migration and ties to non-resident family | Clara H. Mulder Youtube. 2022
Clara H. Mulder from the University of Groningen gave a talk entitled "Internal Migration and ties to non-resident family". Scholars employing the life-course perspective have emphasized the importance of the linked lives of family members for individuals' life courses, including their internal and international migration trajectories. The FamilyTies project (www.rug.nl/FamilyTies) investigates the roles of non-resident family members in migration, both as anchors (keeping individuals and households from migrating and thus inducing staying) and as beacons (attracting migration). It also addresses motivations for migration and staying as well as individual labour-market outcomes associated with migration and staying related to family ties. In this talk, I summarize some insights from the research carried out in the FamilyTies project. I also discuss some of the data challenges associated with research on the role of non-resident family and peers in migration, with a specific focus on data for the UK.

CPC Webinar: 'Studying health and migration using social media' | Emilio Zagheni Youtube. 2021
This CPC webinar was held on Thursday 04 February at 12:00 GMT. Emilio Zagheni, Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research and University of Washington, presented "Studying health and migration using social media: tools for survey participant recruitment complement digital trace data". Passively-collected information about social media users as well as posts and related content have been increasingly used for demographic research related to health and migration. These digital traces, often made available via advertisement platforms, offer new insights into socio-demographic processes, but also have a number of imperfections and limitations. The same advertisement platforms can be used as a tool to rapidly recruit survey participants across countries and to reach hard-to-reach populations. This talk discusses recent work done at MPIDR to complement the two approaches. It concentrates on two main components: (i) assessing cultural assimilation of Mexican immigrants in the US via Facebook data, as well as via a Facebook migration survey that is about to be fielded; (ii) the Covid-19 Health Behavior Survey: an online opt-in survey based on targeted Facebook advertising campaigns across eight countries (Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Spain, United Kingdom, and the United States), that was conducted daily from March 13-August 12, resulting in 144,034 completed questionnaires. This survey collected information on people's health, attitudes, behaviors, and social contacts. The talk discusses methodological approaches to correct for biases and to combine digital trace data with survey estimates, as well as provides initial substantive results from these initiatives.
