Definitions and Data: The case of migrants in the EU

6:30
Tuesday, March 3rd
Pilar's condo
email with RSVP or questions


The idea is to discuss migration research related to Europe because:

1. We often ignore Europe.
2. There are some crazy difficult problems with defining "migrant" in the European context.
3. Tim Smeeding just gave a DemSem presentation about new data from annual household surveys conducted in the EU.
