His research interests include the changing patterns of migration within Africa; the relationship between migration and development; the interface between migration policy and migrants\u2019 behaviour, in particular the attitudes towards and use of papers (passports, ID cards, visas etc.); forced migration, repatriation and humanitarian aid. Presently, he is working on the IMI\u2019s African Migrations Programme and the African Perspectives on Human Mobility Programme Foundation and conducting research in collaboration with colleagues in Nigeria, Morocco, Ghana and DR Congo.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left: 0.5in;\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;Georgia&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;; color: black;\" lang=\"EN-CA\"><br \/>\nIn this talk, Bakewell will contrast the changing perspectives of governments and migrant associations and their relationship. The former are increasing their engagement with migrants and encouraging their investment in the \u201chomeland\u201d. Migrants associations are lobbying for migrant\u2019s rights in countries of settlement and origin and attempting to build up national and international networks that will strengthen their voice. He will look at some of the inherent tensions in the relationship between migrant associations and their states\u2019 of origin, and at some areas for further debate, research and action.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: &quot;Georgia&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;; color: black;\" lang=\"EN-CA\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: &quot;Georgia&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;; color: black;\" lang=\"EN-CA\">This event is open to the public.<br \/>\nThis event is co-hosted by Metropolis BC.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Migration and Development: Perspectives from Governments of Countries of Origin and Migrant Associations When: Wednesday, October 7, 2009, 12:30 &#8211; 2:00 pm Where: Liu Institute, Multipurpose Room, UBC (6476 NW Marine Dr.) with Oliver Bakewell Research Officer, International Migration Institute, University of Oxford Oliver Bakewell has been working with refugees and migrants for over fifteen [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":720,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-350","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/ethicsofisl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/350","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/ethicsofisl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/ethicsofisl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/ethicsofisl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/720"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/ethicsofisl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=350"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/ethicsofisl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/350\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":354,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/ethicsofisl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/350\/revisions\/354"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/ethicsofisl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=350"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/ethicsofisl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=350"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/ethicsofisl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=350"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
