This session explores the diverse and intersecting experiences of migration through emotional, social, political, and spatial lenses. Papers examine queer migration narratives, transitions from student to permanent resident status, diasporic imaginaries, student mobility outcomes, and how migration influences sustainable mobility choices. Through qualitative, interdisciplinary, and often deeply personal approaches, presenters offer insights into how people move, adapt, resist, and thrive across borders and within new places.
