DIRECTORY OF INSTITUTIONS WITH MIGRATION STUDIES

The Asian Research Center for Migration (ARCM), based in the Institute of Asian Studies in Chulalongkorn University, is an internationally recognised center of excellence in social science research. Initially founded in 1987 as the Indochinese Refugee Information Center, the Center was established with the mission of conducting research on the flows of refugees from Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam and other Southeast Asian countries seeking asylum in Thailand. After the Indochinese refugee crisis had abated in Thailand and the refugee camps were closed under the Comprehensive Plan of Action, the Center began to conduct research on new refugee situations that had begun to emerge in Southeast Asia. In recognition of this newly broadened research focus, the Center was reconstituted as the Asian Research Center for Migration in 1995.

Since then, we have significantly expanded our thematic areas and now include projects on all forms of international migration in Southeast Asia, with a particular emphasis on Thailand as a sending, receiving and transit country.

ARCM was recognized as a Chulalongkorn University Center of Excellence in 2007. Our core team is drawn from the University’s academic community, including both Thai and non-Thai experts with experience and technical back-up in various relevant fields, including sociology and anthropology, political science, economics, human geography and law.

Since it was established in 2001 under the directorship of Tony Reid, ARI has matured into one of the world’s foremost research centres on Asia. The Institute brings together scholars working across the social sciences and humanities, forming a vital space for Asia-focused cross-disciplinary research collaboration. The location of ARI at NUS, one of the Asia-Pacific region’s premier universities, and of NUS itself in Singapore – a long established hub for movements of people and ideas – provides us with an incomparable institutional and geographical home for research on Asia.

ARI’s modus operandi is to bring the finest scholars, both early career and more established, to Singapore to work in inter-disciplinary teams in an environment that encourages innovative thinking and supports research excellence. Research at ARI is structured into seven cross-disciplinary research clusters, each led by a senior scholar: Asian Migration, Asian Urbanisms, Changing Family in Asia, Identities, Inter-Asia Engagements, Religion and Globalisation, and Science, Technology and Society. These clusters hold regular seminars, workshops, reading groups and conferences, providing the settings for critical exchanges between scholars with allied intellectual interests but different disciplinary ways of seeing and methodological inclinations.

Our cluster leaders have joint appointments with one of the university’s disciplinary departments. But the majority of our academic staff are early career postdoctoral fellows and mid-career research fellows. They are attached to one – sometimes two – of our research clusters. ARI’s scholarly dynamism is also sustained by short-term visiting fellows from across the globe. The mixture of permanent NUS staff, dedicated postdoctoral researchers, more established fellows, Singapore-based research associates, and researchers linked to projects, as well as short-term visitors, makes ARI a stimulating milieu for the advancement of scholarship on Asia – historical, contemporary and future-facing.

While ARI is a research institute, not a think tank or a policy centre, our work engages important challenges facing the region and wider worlds. These range from migration and child health, to ageing and care ethics, to the governance of transboundary haze. Such research initiatives are supported and extended with grants from both national and international funding bodies. Already plugged into a rich network of international associations and collaborations, ARI continues to evolve as a centre from where Asia-focused research engages practical as well as scholarly questions that are planetary in scope.

Since its founding in the mid-1960s, the Gershon H. Gordon Faculty of Social Sciences at Tel-Aviv University has been an excelling, highly ranked and globally appreciated institution, led by its innovative researchers and teachers.

The faculty holds an important role and duty of making current, updated, precise and, most importantly, unbiased, knowledge available to its students and researchers around the world.

The faculty is composed of five schools: The School of Psychology, The Eitan Berglas School of Economics, The Bob Shapell School of Social Work, The School of Political Sciences, Government and International Affairs, and The School of Social and Policy Studies. The latter includes four departments – Sociology and Anthropology, Labor Studies, Public Policy and Communication, and includes three additional programs – Mediation and Conflict Resolution, Migration Studies, and Developing Countries.

The faculty's students' population is large and diverse, and yet each and every student receives the full attention by the academic and administrative staff to allow him or her to acquire higher education and ultimately, join today's work force.

This Project focused on significantly reducing the exploitation of labour migrants in the region through increased legal and safe migration and improved labour protection. It is currently continued through TRIANGLE in ASEAN programme.

The ASEAN TRIANGLE project, which is currently continued through TRIANGLE in ASEAN programme, aimed to significantly reduce the exploitation of labour migrants in the region through increased legal and safe migration and improved labour protection. The project was implemented in Cambodia, Indonesia, Myanmar, Lao People's Democratic Republic, the Philippines, Thailand and Viet Nam. The project promoted both bilateral and regional approaches to deal with shared concerns, make regionalism more effective, and enhance the capacity of institutions in ASEAN. The project objectives were in line with the strategic priorities of the ASEAN Labour Ministers Work Programme (2010-2015).
