EMIGRA<\/strong> is an acronym of the words that define our field of specialization and our discipline: Education, Migrations, Childhood\/Youth, Gender, within Anthropological Research in the wider context of the Social Sciences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The group was born in the Department of Social and Cultural Anthropology and was officially recognized by the UAB in 2007, the year in which it organized the II International Congress of Ethnography and Education<\/em> at the UAB. Shortly thereafter, EMIGRA promoted the creation of the Centre d’Estudis i Recerca en Migracions, approved by the Governing Council in 2009, an interdisciplinary and interuniversity UAB-UB research centre, which integrates research staff in the field of migration through groups in Anthropology, Sociology, Law and Education. CER Migracions holds the status of Grup de Recerca Consolidat (SGR2017 1702) of AGAUR, Generalitat de Catalunya.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

EMIGRA<\/strong> is part of the materialist tradition<\/strong> in social sciences from the socio-critical paradigm<\/strong>, with an explicit commitment to social transfer<\/strong> from applied anthropology. Specifically, we work mainly on the conditions of integration of children and youth and their families and environments in the context of contemporary global dynamics between cultural diversity and social inequality, from an intersectional perspective of class, gender and origin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

EMIGRA<\/strong> is part of several academic and professional networks and associations: NESET II, IRNEYET, IMISCOE, Spanish Federation of Sociology; Society for Applied Anthropology, AIBR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At present, EMIGRA<\/strong> is carrying out 3 research and social intervention projects:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
