Migratory crisis and care crisis
This line of research focuses on the study of the complexities and dynamics associated with mass migrations and the difficulties related to the provision of care.
This approach examines how migratory crises affect the social and cultural structures of communities, as well as the provision and reception of care in contexts of population mobility.
The research seeks to understand the cultural and social interactions and tensions surrounding migration and care in the context of crisis situations.
