Global Migration
Understanding the Dynamics of Global Migration
Migration across the world is driven by a complex and intertwined web of factors--conflict, climate change, economic shifts, personal aspirations, and social and cultural changes.
Scholars from Loyola University Chicago and Boston College Schools of Social Work will facilitate a real-time discussion with panelists from around the globe—scholars, activists, and representatives of human services organizations—to reflect on some of the many dynamics of migration.
