Diego Acosta shared a happy moment with the Law School to announce the publication, after four years of work, of his new co-edited collection, together with Anja Wiesbrock, entitled Global Migration Issues. Old Assumptions New Dynamics.
This is a 28 chapters, 3 volumes collection, that puts together some of the leading scholars in the five continents from eight different disciplines with the intention to discuss, and often to burst, misconceptions and myths surrounding migration.
The colleagues who participated include Douglas Massey, Elspeth Guild, Jennifer Gordon, Philippe Fargues, Tariq Modood, Raúl Delgado-Wise, Mary Crock or Terri Givens to name a few. There was also an Advisory Board which included the current UN Rapporteur on the Rights of Migrants, François Crépeau, as well as the former one, Jorge Bustamante, together with five other leading Professors in their areas (Adepoju, Khadria, Wei Li, Groenendijk and Geddes).
