Description
This group welcomes all researchers working on age and generational issues in migration contexts. It is open to anyone researching across the age spectrum (from infancy to old age) and/or analyzing intra- and inter-generational relations in situations of migration, broadly defined. While our initial membership focused on building a network of researchers based in Canada, we would like to link with related international initiatives and individuals. We currently exist as a virtual working group with over 100 members.
