As the world reels from the combined health, economic, political and moral crisis we are in, there is more need than ever to reimagine and remake our futures. With our thinking and our very bodies under threat from all forms of oppression and disinformation, we need to find ways to sustain and empower the more vulnerable amongst us.

This volume brings together a unique set of thinkers/teachers/activists from across Europe, Africa and Latin America. We are committed to inter disciplinary research and the breaking down of boundaries between research and social transformation. It is the first product of an emerging research and practice network, the Migration and Social Transformation Network (MSTN), that is committed to pursuing a new agenda, which seeks to turn migration/refugee research into an active partnership with society, to address the pressing social needs of migrants who suffer from a range of exclusionary processes, not least those based on racial, gender and class differences.
