Examining data from Sweden, Germany, and Switzerland, J. Lacroix, @ischiathere.bsky.social, @maryabedalahad.bsky.social, H. Kulu, together with G. Andersson, show that immigrants and refugees tend to move to urban areas following initial settlement and dispersal policy.

Meanwhile, in a study using the German SOEP data, @ischiathere.bsky.social and Hill Kulu demonstrate that motherhood reduces women’s labor market participation across immigrant groups — but its impact is stronger for European immigrant women because they start out with higher baseline participation.

Another study led by @jharrison37.bsky.social finds persistent gaps in residential mobility and homeownership between the native population and immigrants + their descendants. @jmikolai.bsky.social @ischiathere.bsky.social @maryabedalahad.bsky.social

We’ve got a strong contingent of PhD students and staff at the three-day @imprs-phds.bsky.social Annual Academy being held from 3-5 December @mpidr.bsky.social in Rostock, Germany! 💙 @maryabedalahad.bsky.social @ischiathere.bsky.social

Julie Lacroix et al have published in International Migration Review - #Immigrant #Refugee #Mobility Across #Urban #Rural Continuum in 3 #European Countries. They find immigrants contribute little to suburban-/rural-isation. Refugees relocate to urban areas after restrictions doi.org/10.1177/0197...

New publication ✍️ Recent work by @jmikolai.bsky.social, Hill Kulu, and @ischiathere.bsky.social, together with Isaure Delaporte, unveils the interrelationship between fertility and employment changes among migrant populations across three major migrant recipient countries in Europe.

Great insights in Session V — many thanks to everyone who shared their work! 📈

Bologna is calling

There are so many things to love about @bspsuk.bsky.social #bsps2025. I got to bond with my @phrg-standrews.bsky.social colleagues over insanely long train rides (but they made it fun). I (re)connected with people doing interesting work who also happen to be great people. Lovely to be home though.

Our previous team member @ischiathere.bsky.social & Nissa Finney contributed to a @bspsuk.bsky.social panel on future research on the #children of #immigrants! The panel discussed data gaps, specific themes/theories related to their unique societal status, methodologies & interdisciplinarity.

🎓 Today we celebrate success! It’s graduation day for our amazing graduates, from Bachelor’s to PhDs. Congratulations to our entire Class of 2025! Here’s our brilliant PhD cohort ready to take on the world. 🌟 #GraduationDay #ProudSchool #ClassOf2025
