HOMELandS Research, Knowledge Exchange and Networking Day

Join us for this exciting and free one-day event hosted by HOMELandS (Hub on Migration, Exiles, Languages and Spaces) at the University of Westminster. It brings together colleagues and doctoral researchers across the university, migrant experts and members of migration communities to have conversations on various aspects of migration and diaspora in the UK and beyond, celebrate equality, diversity and inclusion, and explore innovative approaches to interdisciplinary research and knowledge exchange collaboratively.
