Seeking blog contributions: The Impact of the Covid-19 Pandemic on Junior Researchers
The NCCR on the move is going to run a blog series on the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on junior researchers. This is your opportunity to tell the world how Covid-19 disrupted mobility and may have disrupted your career.
The full call is here: https://nccr-onthemove.ch/events/disrupted-mobilities-disrupted-careers-the-impact-of-the-covid-19-pandemic-on-junior-researchers/ — write them until 4 December 2020 if you’re interested.
The focus is on early career researchers as the most vulnerable among the academic tribe, often in precarious positions and apparently pushed to international mobility to hopefully get ahead.
Reminder: Call for Survey Questions & Experiments
This is a reminder for the call for a joint survey, building to a joint publication.
You can contribute (a) survey questions, (b) designs for survey experiments, and (c) interest in survey analysis in the following areas:
— The role of limited information in decisions to migrate
— Aspirations and abilities to migrate
— The role of different narratives of migration
— Immobility (inability or lack of motivation to move)
— Research on the role of trust in migration decisions
— Health and migration
The survey will probably be fielded in Ghana, Kenya, Nigeria, South Africa, or a combination of these countries in October 2020.
You are embedded in a university in a Subsaharan African
country or in Switzerland, and study human migration in any relevant discipline.
Deadline: 4 September 2020
