How to deal with constraints and categorizations in the host country? Networks, resources and capital of adult migrants with educational projects in Belgium

In most European countries, including Belgium, international migrations have undergone major changes during the last decades, leading to a complexification and a greater selectiveness of migratory policies and to the categorization of migrants in the host country. Yet, this has a particularly strong impact on individuals’ trajectories, in particular for migrants who develop new projects once in the host country such as adult migrants, without a student stay, who decide to go back into higher education. What do the Belgian legal framework and diverse categorizations allow or, on the contrary, do not allow to adult migrants going back to higher studies ? How do these individuals respond to it and what resources do they mobilize to pursue their project ? This paper analyses the phenomenon of migrants’ resumption to higher studies from a structure-agency perspective, highlighting the relevance of networks and the resources embedded in them in the articulation between micro and macro levels. Based on the existing literature and on preliminary results obtained through an ongoing qualitative fieldwork conducted with adult migrants from Democratic Republic of Congo, India and the United States of America in Belgium, it identifies possible constraints faced by these adult and migrant learners as well as the different social resources they are able to mobilize to gain autonomy and pursue their educational project in the host country

«Moving on the thread of belonging: fragments of subaltern discourses in the Italian Consular Court in Cairo»

The aim of this contribution is to reflect on the reasons for an oversight. Indeed, despite profound advances in historiography, historians of colonialism and emigration have not adequately investigated the Italian presence in the South and East Mediterranean between the Unification of Italy (1861) and the occupation of Libya (1911. My analysis draws attention to two subjects: the first is the relationship between colonialism and migration, although not in the sense of a subordinate, unidirectional and unequivocal relationship (mother country vs colony; elite vs masses). The second is the impact mass migration has on the countries of settlement that have been colonised by the countries from which migrants come from. Specifically, the aim is to assess the effects of the Capitulations on the socio-cultural dynamics underlying between the local foreign populations, from a bottom-up perspective. To this end, I will use Egypt as a case study, since this country has some original characteristics: the fact that the Capitulations remained in force until 1937, therefore, even after the British occupation of 1882; the existence of a large, long-standing, stratified Italian colony

Data and code for: "The Employment Effects of Immigration: Evidence from the Mass Arrival of German Expellees in Post-war Germany"

Data and code to replicate: Braun Sebastian and Toman Omar Mahmoud (2014). The Employment Effects of Immigration: Evidence from the Mass Arrival of German Expellees in Post-war Germany. The Journal of Economic History 74 (1): 69-108. Abstract: This paper studies the employment effects of one of the largest forced population movements in history, the influx of millions of German expellees to West Germany after World War II. This episode of forced mass migration provides a unique setting to study the causal effects of immigration. Expellees were not selected on the basis of skills or labor market prospects and, as ethnic Germans, were close substitutes to native West Germans. Expellee inflows substantially reduced native employment. The displacement effect was, however, highly non-linear and limited to labor market segments with very high inflow rates

Proximate care within immobilizing regimes of migration

In this presentation I argue that the current political context of restrictionist migration policies resulting either in immobility or highly conditional mobility, is dramatically affecting people’s capacity to cross borders to engage in proximate care with their relatives, which is a central feature of transnational care practices that is often overlooked
