Building upon the success of our previous conferences, we are excited to announce the sixth annual conference on immigration and settlement.

The Conference will bring together researchers, academics, graduate students, NGOs, government representatives, policy makers and other stakeholders from around the world to promote exchange and discussion on aspects of the integration and settlement processes of new immigrants and refugees in the diaspora. The focus will be on the emotional and social deconstruction and reconstruction of the concept of “Home” among these immigrants.

The conference will feature keynote and plenary speeches from policy makers, workshops and presentations from researchers, front-line settlement and integration workers in the field.

The main theme for the 2013 Conference is: Pathways and Roadblocks to Settlement and Citizenship in New Homelands – Exploring Critical issues on Migration, Integration and Adaptation of New Comers in Host Societies
