Dear Highly Skilled Migrants Research Network members,
I apologize for the long silence! My university moved our email group to another platform which caused a loss of all data and a long period of inactivity. The group is now reestablished and I hope it will function fine
again. I am pleased to continue moderating it on behalf of Malmö Institute
for Studies in Migration, Diversity and Welfare (MIM) at Malmö University.
We welcome a new member, Carolina Triana Cuellar (Doctoral Researcher, School of Global Studies University
of Sussex,
C.Triana-Cuellar@sussex.ac.uk), who is researching
the experiences of immigrant artists working in London's theatre field, with a focus on their responses to exclusion in their creative practice and working lives.
Below is the update on some publications by our members:
