This is the fourth Polish migration conference at SSEES. At previous conferences the logo of a tree putting down roots symbolised Polish migrants鈥� propensity to settle in their countries of migration. Papers also explored how this trend combined with the continuing dynamism of transnational ties between Poland and countries abroad, within families and friendship networks, and among entrepreneurs and civil society activists. Restrictions linked to the Covid-19 pandemic, as well as Brexit, have intensified insecurities and created challenges for the transnational mobility which previously typified the lifestyles of many Polish and other EU migrants. As for many people across the world, the injunction to 鈥榮tay at home鈥� has raised the question 鈥榃here is home鈥�?

There is no fee for the conference. Please contact Anne White anne.white@ucl.ac.uk to register and receive the Zoom link.
