The LSE Migration Studies Seminar aims to provide a transdisciplinary space for anyone whose research is related to migration to present and discuss their work.

Critical Perspectives and the Perspective of Critique
First biennial post-graduate symposium on Europe at LSE.
This symposium will take place on the LSE campus in London from 26 to 28 April 2023.
The European Institute (EI) is delighted to announce this workshop-based conference convened by two doctoral researchers at the European Institute; Sarah Gerwens and Jacob Lypp. This is a postgraduate symposium open to PhD candidates and early-career researchers (ECRs). The conference builds on the EI’s and LSE’s enduring engagement with questions of Eurocentrism and its potential ‘beyond’. We encourage submissions that engage with (any part of) 'Europe’ in a broadly critical vein.

Firm-centred, multi-level approaches to overcoming semi-peripheral constraints
A Special Issue workshop for this project will take place on 20 March 2023 at the LSE.
Kira Gartzou-Katsouyanni at the EI and Sonja Avlijaš at the University of Belgrade are co-leading a project on “Firm-centred, multi-level approaches to overcoming semi-peripheral constraints”. The project will result in a Special Issue publication at Studies in Comparative International Development (SCID) in early 2024. The central goal of the project is to advance our understanding about the role of firms as developmental agents in semi-peripheral areas around the globe that frequently face both market and government failures. By focusing on the global semi-periphery, which includes less developed areas in Europe but is not limited to them, the project aims to break the traditional geographical silos that separate scholarship of the Global North and the Global South and foster a process of non-hegemonic knowledge exchange among different areas of the world. In that spirit, the project’s semi-peripheral case studies can also offer lessons for the core European countries, which are being increasingly troubled by environmental, social and economic challenges.
