Sobre el recurrente debate en torno a la #inmigración, ahora de nuevo en primer plano, solo un par de cosas a recordar: 1) Que la inmigración aporta más de lo que quita (económicamente socialmente y culturalmente) en todas las sociedades receptoras y a lo largo de toda la historia,

New report outlines the biggest reasons immigrants stay in Canada, and it’s not just financial. A survey of nearly 5,000 immigrants finds newcomers are far more likely to stay in Canada if they feel hopeful about their future and connected to the country.

It’s terrifying

It was a great pleasure to give a Guest lecture yesterday on #race & #racism in Spain for the Univ. of Hawai‘i, Dept. of Educational Foundations, Student Abroad Program. Thank you Prof. Brent Edwards for the invite, for the warm welcome & sweets! 😋 Great vibes! 🤙 😃 coe.hawaii.edu/edef/barcelo...

Very sad indeed. He was a towering figure in immigration studies, with a huge influence in many generations of scholars, and overall a model of scholarship and decency. It was a privilege to know him and to collaborate with him. This is a huge loss. My deepest condolences to his family and friends.

Yesterday, during the blackout, going from place to place, I spoke to and met more people than I have in the last five years! Indeed, Yesterday's blackout in Spain highlighted, once again, that in the face of adversity, people support each other and are more resilient than you might imagine, 👇🏽

Very good news! 🇨🇦💫

Very happy to welcome Roy Thaniago as Visiting Researcher with the INMIX - UAB Research Group for 6 months. On April 28 at 11:30-13:00h. he will be giving a hybrid presentation titled “The Materiality of Ethnic Relationships: An Ethnography of a Gold Trading Street in Indonesia”. See you there! 😀💫

Last night I saw “Chaplin: Spirit of the Tramp”, a documentary about his #Romani roots. Worth seeing! m.youtube.com/watch?v=MrHr...

Last class before the Easter holidays in my ‘Migration and interethnic relations’ BA course could not be better than an invited class by Teresa Habimana (INMIX-UAB) talking about #racism #intersectionality #afrofeminism & #activism 💫👍🏾 Thanks Teresa! 🙏🏼

I'm confused. Does the Trump administration claim race is a biological reality? It objects to current museum policies because: 'The museum (...) promotes the view that race is not a biological reality but a social construct, stating “Race is a human invention".' www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

I just learned about the sudden passing away of Jeffrey G. Reitz, a great Canadian migration scholar and a good friend of mine for more than 20 years. I still cannot believe it.

Great INMIX-UAB Seminar yesterday w @ZeniaHellgren (GRITIM-UPF) re: Project REACT 💫 We discussed about institutional #racism in schools, #Research-Action methods, and the challenge to implement much needed changes in the education system when the system and its professionals don’t see the problem…🫤

Finishing a course being applauded by your students is the best reward a teacher can have 😊 And even more so if the course is as tough as Epistemology and Research Methods! 😅

Excellent workshop today ab the #UAB #Refugee Program with Júlia Pírez Curell from the area of ​​Cooperation & Education for Global Justice at #UAB Solidarity Foundation @fas-uab.bsky.social @uab.cat An ongoing collaboration with my BA course "International Migrations” @AntropologiaUAB Many thanks!🙏🏼

Today is International #SocialJustice Day, an urgent call for action that must be led by #humanrights principles to building a fairer world, ensuring peace, dignity, equality & opportunity for all. A very sad recent example of the consequences of social injustice👇🏽 edition.cnn.com/2025/02/19/u...

Govt's own data shows that Black (24%), Asian (21%), and Mixed (12%) households are more likely to be in persistent low income. With scandalous rates of poverty in the UK, our systems are built to penalise the poor and benefit the wealthy. www.theguardian.com/business/202...
