Transitions: Journal of Transient Migration 8.1-2 is out now! Special Issue

Intellect is pleased to announce that Transitions: Journal of Transient Migration 8.1-2 is out now!

Special Issue: ‘The End of Migration’

It may feel like a bold statement to declare the end of migration and state this without a question mark attached – as if presenting a fait accompli. Yet our intention with this Special Issue is to call attention to the dramatic transformations in migration regimes and the increasing impossibility for most migrants to move and settle permanently, let alone build transnational ties like previous generations did.

Aims & Scope

Transient migration due to the global movements of people for work, study and lifestyle is part of everyday life. Transitions: Journal of Transient Migration is devoted to providing a platform that explores and investigates the complexities of transient migration. It aims to map the experiences of transient migrants as they engage and interact with communities that are linked both to their home and host nations and to analyse the effects of transient migration as a global, national and communal phenomenon. The journal’s focus is on how transient migrants cope with transience and how transient migration affects individuals, communities and nations before, during and after the period of transience.
