New Data and Methods for Migration Studies: going beyond traditional data sources
Paris School of Economics and Institut Convergences Migrations
Paris, October 10-11, 2022
The Paris School of Economics, SoBigData++ consortium, HumMingBird consortium and Institut Convergences Migrations are jointly organizing a two-day workshop aimed at bringing together migration scholars from various disciplines from these institutions and beyond. The conference is devoted to investigating and showcasing new methods to study human migration based on non-traditional data sources and methods. Possible topics include: understanding and estimating migration flows and stocks using non-traditional and big data sources (e.g., nowcasting flows using social media or mobile phone data, visualisation, analysis, and prediction of flows, including for specific domains such as scientific, labour, refugee, and seasonal migration); studying the connection between policy changes and migration using new data analytics; understanding attitudes towards migrants and migrants’ integration (e.g. using sentiment analysis, discourse type and media portraying of migrants, polarisation of the discourse with respect to human migration, etc.); ethics of big data in the context of human migration.

Prof. Joshua Blumenstock - U.C. Berkeley School of Information and the Goldman School of Public Policy
