Description: 

This session explores social processes of changing place, from immigration to housing relocation. How do people navigate the challenges associated with finding their place as they move through the world? How do migration and mobility transform place-based identities, opportunities, and resources in a globalized world? And how do race, class, gender, nationality, and the environment inform experiences of migration and mobility?
