“Migration, Displacement and Diversity: The IRiS Anthology” marks the tenth anniversary of the University of Birmingham’s Institute for Research into Superdiversity (IRiS). Together with more than 70 contributors – academics, practitioners and activists - we think collectively about past, present and future directions of research on migration and diversity. The 60 contributions cover a range of disciplines and professions, work on different aspects, spaces and times of the migration phenomenon, and express a variety of scientific and political approaches.
