Rethinking African migration studies by deconstructing the often biased and misleading narratives and theoretical and methodological approaches that obscure an understanding of past and contemporary African migration patterns and trends is one of the paramount objectives of the African Migration Studies Association.
The AMSA is open to anyone interested in African migration issues: students, researchers, experts, policymakers, professors, practitioners, migrant individuals and associations, media, NGOs, international organizations, government officials, civil society organizations, practitioners and advocates, etc.
The AMSA aims to nurture a vivid community of experts, researchers, policy and decision-makers, international organizations, NGOs, government officials, media, Civil Society Organizations, and practitioners for a better understanding of African migration issues and appropriate responses to Africa’s migration-related challenges.
