Borders, Race, Ethnicity and Migration Network (BREM)
BREM promotes interdisciplinary dialogue across the intersecting themes of migration, ‘race’/ethnic relations and bordering practices, broadly defined. It serves as an open forum for sharing research, developing new and existing collaborations, and supporting early career researchers.

Key questions addressed by BREM include:
-
What is the social, cultural, economic and political significance of different historical and contemporary migrations?
-
In what ways are contemporary bordering or boundary-producing practices and dynamics changing?
-
How does ‘race’ and ethnicity feature in the formation of identities and diverse societies?
-
To what extent do processes of racialisation shape regulations and differentiated experiences across diverse sites (e.g. the university, workplace or law court)?
