This is a book launch event for the book 'From the Margins: Migrant Academics’ Narratives of Precarity'. 'From the Margins' deepens and expands the conversation on the lived experiences of migrant academics navigating global academia. It is the second volume within the Migrant Academics project led by the editors. The first volume was published in 2023. 

Through deeply personal, creative, and reflexive narratives, the contributors delve deep into the notions of privilege, migration, and precarity, revealing how academic hierarchies and colonial legacies shape everyday experiences of belonging, vulnerability, and resilience.

The book launch event is jointly funded and supported by Amsterdam Centre for European Studies (ACES) and Amsterdam Research Centre for Migration (ARC-M) will be followed by drinks. No registration is required.
