Welcome to IMER/UIB
IMER/UiB, International Migration and Ethnic Relations at the University of Bergen, is a multidisciplinary research unit at the University of Bergen. The aim of IMER/UiB is to contribute to research-based knowledge about international migration, not least related to European countries, including the consequences of immigration and emigration for societies.
| IMER/UiB is developing four closely related thematic foci. These are: |
| 1) The Global Turn - processes and effects of selected features of globalization, especially as related to migraton and its consequences; | |
| 2) Diversity, Citizenship and Public Sphere - how diversity necessitates new notions about political life, most prominently in citizenship and public sphere; |
| 3) People at Borders and Boundaries - the sociology of movement, processes of inclusion and exclusion, the construction and control of spaces; |
| 4) Emerging urbanities - The plural city, planned pluralism, urban minority/migrant life, housing segregation, the global in the local, governance in ethnically plural cities, multicultural youth life in the city. |
