The Summer Institute on International Migration, Ethnic Diversity and Cities seeks to explore the topical features of international migration and the incorporation of immigrants in the cities and states of destination. The themes of the seminar will be approached in an international comparative way, building on theoretical and empirical contributions of sociologists, political scientists, anthropologists, geographers, economists, philosophers and historians. The Institute is open to advanced undergraduate, graduate and post-graduate students as well as professionals working in a field related to the topic of the Summer Institute. Students may receive credit for their participation.
