Aims & Scope

 

Transitions aims to provide a platform that explores and investigates the complexities of transient migration and to map the experiences of the growing number of transient migrants as they engage and interact with communities that are linked both to their home and host nations. The journal seeks to look at the ways in which transient migration affects individuals and communities in this transitional yet significant period. Its scope includes, but is not limited to, themes of belonging, identity, networks, nation, culture, religion, race and ethnicity, gender and memory while incorporating the roles played by various platforms to facilitate these themes such as media, politics, policy, economy and the creative industries.
