CRG African Migration, Mobility and Displacement (AMMODI)

AMMODI provides a platform for cross-disciplinary migration research and seeks to contribute to nuanced analyses of African migration for both academic and non-academic audiences. The CRG conducts bi-annual workshops (rotating between locations in Europe and Sub-Saharan Africa) and publishes a blog. 

AMMODI aims to bring together research on African migration, mobility and displacement, in order to refine, elaborate, and communicate its findings in an interdisciplinary manner, acknowledging the growing relevance of these themes. The group seeks to place current migration trends in their historical, political and socio-economic contexts, and to challenge and temper the growing tendency to criminalise and persecute migrants from the Global South.

The AMMODI CRG aims to:

• Facilitate the exchange of information on scholarly debates on migration, mobility and displacement in Africa within Europe

• Identify the overlaps and tensions between debates on migration, mobility and displacement

• Promote collaboration between researchers interested in migration and mobility within Europe and Africa and strengthen networks, especially in Africa 

• Disseminate AMMODI’s work to the broader public in light of the significance of the topic within global current affairs
