Temporary Migration and Community Cohesion: the Nature and Impact of Migration from East-Central to Western Europe
University of Bath, 12:00, 7 January – 5:30, 8 January 2008
This two-day workshop will explore East-West migration from a range of postcommunist European countries, both within and outside the European Union, to a range of destinations in Western and Southern Europe. Attention will be paid to both sending and receiving communities. Focusing on particular groups of migrants and particular places, the papers presented at the workshop will explore the links between ‘temporariness’ and community cohesion.
