The SCMR is a broad church for migration research that is theoretically informed and policy relevant. In the Sussex tradition, our distinctiveness comes through a genuinely interdisciplinary approach, a truly global focus and topical coverage, and a critical but empirically informed stance. Our research projects are funded by academic funding bodies and government departments, including, among others, the Department for International Development, ESRC, AHRC, Nuffield Foundation, Leverhulme Trust, Joseph Rowntree Trust, UK Home Office, and European Union Framework programmes.

Projects held by SCMR researchers come in many shapes and forms. We have organised their presentation within four broad thematic areas. Please follow the links below for more information about our research projects, for information about publications, and about Visiting Fellowships.
