Hello Melissa, I am Raiyan from Kiel, Germany. I appreciate your initiative to discuss different topics related to migration studies and knowledge sharing with other migration researchers. I follow your post here since migration is one of my areas of interest. Mostly, my research interests include human migration, migrants' living strategies in urban areas, climate change adaptation and likely areas. I completed a master in "Sustainability, Society and the Environment" from Kiel University, Germany in 2018. In my master thesis, I conducted empirical research in order to perceive the dynamics of environmental migrants' livelihood strategies in Khulna (one of the climate-vulnerable cities in Bangladesh) in the face of climate change. I used DFID's Sustainable Livelihood Framework to analyse migrants' livelihood in Khulna city. I explored that although translocal connectedness (e.g. social network) initially helped them to take migration decision, however, migrants faced challenges to secure better livelihoods in Khulna due to the lack of both human (e.g. education) and financial capital (e.g. income). Currently, I am preparing a PhD research proposal on immobility where I would like to explore both the reasons for involuntary and voluntary immobility in a post-disaster situation. I find this topic is very interesting because most of the migration studies focus on the causes and consequences of migration but people may not desire to migrate or may not be able to migrate. So there is a scientific knowledge gap that needs to be filled to get a broad picture. Let's see how far I come up with the research proposal. I hope you will keep posting videos on different topics related to human migration.
Interesting topic that you are planning for your PhD research and I agree with that in migration studies migrants are always looked at as the objects! It is time now to look at migration from their own prespectives.
Hello Melissa. I know that it was Ravenstein that first used the push and pull factors regarding migration, but who was the first to implement stay/stay away factors to migration theory? Best regards Nahuel.
Dear Melissa, ( I'm a Ph.D. Candidate & Researcher writing to you regarding Theories of Immigration \ Migration ) Could you PLEASE provide me with a comprehensive academic-strategy (or structure) to better write the Literature Review of my Thesis, in which Theories of Migration chronologically address Security issues of Irregular Immigration ? My PhD researches & investigates Irregular Migration’s impacts on Social Security. I'd be glad to e-mail you further details if you don't mind. My sincere thanks indeed for your kindly appreciated cooperation and support.
The migration research group at my institute (Maastricht University/UNU-MERIT) has put out some work on this subject that my help guide your writing! Here are some publications that I encourage you to read.

@@MelissaSiegelMigration Dear Melissa, Thank you indeed. I very much appreciate your swift and resourceful response. I've come across the references you mentioned while I was writing some of my articles, and they are helpful. I will e-mail you sooner in regards to my field of expertise and research work I am focusing on.

For me a substantial "Pull" factor was the warmer weather at my destination country
