Dear all
It was nice to meet many of you at the IMISCOE conference in June! I would like to draw your attention to three new publications (including one of myself) on highly-skilled migrants in China. All three articles are part of a special issue on immigration to China.
Suter, Brigitte 2019. Migration as adventure: Swedish corporate migrant families’ experiences of liminality in Shanghai, Transitions: Journal of Transient Migration, 3(1), 45-58.
Camenisch, Aldina 2019. China as a ‘new frontier’: Neo-liberal aspirations, imaginaries and (dis-) enchantments of Swiss migrant professionals in mainland China, Transitions: Journal of Transient Migration, 3(1), 31-44.
Masdeu Torruella, Irene and Saiz Lopez, Amelia 2019. Transiting (in) Shanghai: High-skilled professionals from Spain to China, Transitions: Journal of Transient Migration, 3(1), 59-70.
You can find all the articles here: https://www.intellectbooks.com/transitions-journal-of-transient-migration

Dear colleagues,
Thanks to all who participated in the network meeting in the course of the IMISCOE conference in Malmö last month.
Please circulate updates on your published work and see about the possibilities of organising workshops and symposia on high-skilled migration locally. As told at the meeting, the network in its present form of an email list is to be used first and foremost as an efficient channel of information.
The initiative concerning a web-page with personal presentations mentioned at the meeting is to be explored further.
Finally, here is the info on a Special Session on migration and innovation at the 5th Geography of Innovation conference, to be held on January 29-31, 2020, in Stavanger, Norway: http://geoinno2020.com/migration-globalization-and-the-knowledge-economy/
The organisers expect to receive contribution from various topics, including (but not limited to):
* The role of high-skilled migration in fostering innovation in receiving countries – present and historical perspectives.
* The relationship between diversity and innovation at the team, firm, local and country level.
* Historical studies of skilled migration and/or long term effects on the innovation in destination countries.
* Diversity and innovation: hereunder intersectionality and how various diversity constructs are interwoven and affect innovation, differently.
* The role of skilled diasporas in knowledge diffusion.
* Temporary migration and knowledge sharing.
* The emerging role of MNC in shaping scientists’ and engineers’ migration flows.
* Skilled migrants and the internationalization of capital flows.
* The effect of changes in migration policies on skilled migrations and international collaborations.
* Gender and skilled migrants: gender diversity, migrant diversity
