|
Interested Postgraduate Students and Early Career
Researchers whose research engages with themes of
migration, home, identity and belonging are invited
to attend a special research workshop with Professor
Paolo Boccagni. Participants will give brief presentations
summarising their research on these themes for discussion
with Professor Boccagni and their academic peers.
About the Presenter
Paolo Boccagni is an associate professor in Sociology at the
University of Trento, Italy. His main areas of expertise are
international migration, transnationalism, social welfare,
care, diversity and home. His current research is on homemaking
and home-feeling processes, as a critical question
for the everyday negotiation of boundaries between native
and foreign-born populations. As the Principal Investigator
of the European Research Council Starting Grant
project HOMInG and of MIUR (Ministero dell’Istruzione,
dell’Università e della Ricerca) HOASI (Home and Asylum
Seekers in Italy), Paolo is leading a team of seven
postdoctoral researcher fellows, doing multi-sited fieldwork
on the experience of home among migrants and refugees
in nine different countries. Based on these large-scale
collaborative projects, Paolo is elaborating on “homing”
as a lifelong set of processes through which individuals
and groups try to make themselves at home. In recent
years he has also done fieldwork on the ways of framing
and approaching immigrant and refugee clients among
social workers; on the lived experience and the sense of
home of international students; on the built environment,
material cultures and thresholds of domesticity in refugee
reception initiatives. Paolo has published in over 30
international peer-reviewed journals in migration studies,
diversity, housing, social policy and research methods.
Recent publications include Migration and the Search for
Home. Mapping Domestic Space in Migrants’ Everyday Lives
(Palgrave, 2017) and the articles “Aspirations and the
subjective future of migration” (Comparative Migration
Studies, 2017), “At home in home care: Contents and
boundaries of the ‘domestic’ among immigrant live-in
workers in Italy” (Housing Studies, 2018), “Ambivalence and
the social processes of immigrant inclusion” (with P. Kivisto,International Journal of Comparative Sociology, 2019).
