Location: 714A (MTCC SOUTH BUILDING)
RC06 Family Research (host committee)

Language: English

We are seeking papers that focus on processes of migration, relocation, and resettlement and their impact on migrating families in host countries and in their countries of origin. Papers could focus on the problems and difficulties that these families experience as they reestablish family bonds, deal with resettlement agencies, and may form ethnic enclaves Papers can also be concerned with issues regarding maintaining ties (structurally, emotionally, and financially) with relatives who may still be in their country of origin or resettled in other countries.
