About the training:
What are some of the different analytical lenses adopted to inquire the gender-migration nexus?
Examining the literature and scholarly research engines, Dr Fresnoza-Flot aims to uncover that women are more visible than their male counterparts, whereas the LGBTI migrants are attracting increasing attention. As migratory movements have become diversified and complex through time, it is becoming increasingly pressing to under¬stand our perspectives and approaches.
