A beautiful evening of music and shared intent with the incredible @HAORCHESTRA who sounds and spirit are central to the work of the @UKRI_News @GCRF #SouthSouthmigration Inequality and Development Hub. So much looking forward to our work with them over coming months and years... 
Here is the @HAORCHESTRA playing a piece that captures the essence of movement, the beautiful things that can be made when new configurations of people and object come together...
And here’s that very same piece of beautiful music providing the soundtrack to this @PosNegOrg animated video of our @UKRI_News @GCRF #SouthSouthMigration Inequality and Development Hub. Kick back with a coffee and enjoy!
Some key takeaways from @lhammondsoas on Day 1 of @GCRF @UKRI_News #GCRFAddis
1️⃣ Vulnerability is rooted in multiple inequalities
2️⃣ Vulnerabilities shift and change over time
3️⃣ Migration is important mechanism for coping with vulnerability
4️⃣ Policy can increase vulnerability

First #GCRFAddis panel on youth, gender and remittances. Interesting findings from @REFHorn on complex and variable ways in which youth training programmes in Uganda influence migration decisions including whether to return to S Sudan, move within country, migrate internationally
Context is everything in designing youth employment programmes. Fascinating example from @neelamraina on ways Kashmiri culture and identity shape hopes/aspirations of young people for the future. If difference makes you who you are then programmes should build on this #GCRFAddis
Incredible performance by Noyam African Dance Institute to mark official start of @UKRI_News @GCRF #SouthSouthMigration Inequality and Development Hub. Such a powerful moving representation of migrant journeys and experiences. Thank you @GTordzro @alison_phipps Nii Tete and all!
The beautiful building of International House, home to @cms_moop, provided the perfect setting for this performance and its metaphor of the ‘corridor’. Thank you Prof Joseph Teye and all at @univofghana for hosting us and for the generosity of your welcome
Plenty of media interest in thinking behind #UKRI #GCRF #SouthSouthMigration Inequality and Development Hub and what we hope to achieve. This is all about generating new perspectives, insights and understandings of migration for the benefit of everyone. No better way to start!
Today we started work! An excellent @KetsoLtd session with all our #UKRI #GCRF #SouthSouthMigration Hub partners co-designing research for our #GlobalSouth ‘corridors’, drawing in thematic areas as appropriate. Great way of de-centring analysis and ensuring everyone has a voice!
This afternoon we are grappling with challenging issue of how to ensure work of the #UKRI #GCRF #SouthSouthMigration Inequality and Development Hub is conducted ethically and genuinely decolonises knowledge production. With 12 countries and more than 40 partners its no small task
Hanging out the washing...what are the key messages and ideas the #UKRI #GCRF #SouthSouthMigration,Inequality and Development Hub should be communicating? Some fun to end a long first day working through our research design, ethics, data management and communications strategy
An incredible morning so far with 42 partners from around the world at the start of the #UKRI #GCRF #SouthSouthMigration, Inequality and Development Hub. Reducing inequalities is what we want to do, the important question is how we are going to it....
Blown away by the energy, ideas and commitment of our #UKRI #GCRF #SouthSouthMigration partners, we’ve finally let them start talking and @cms_moop is alive!
The creative juices are flowing and ideas about how the work that the #SouthSouthMigration Hub does over the next five years can #makeadifference are bubbling over on to the table
Preparations well underway for start of our #UKRI #GCRF #SouthSouthMigration, Inequality and Development Hub. Around the world - from Haiti to Malaysia - more than 40 partners are busily packing their bags to come and join us at @cms_moop next week. Watch this space for updates!
Today’s rehearsal at Noyam Dance Institute with @alison_phipps @GTordzro for new performance to mark official start of #UKRI #GCRF #SouthSouthMigration, Inequality and Development Hub. Multilingual title is ‘Dzen Lungulungu Kpɔdomi’ meaning ‘Corridors’ in Gã Hausa and Ewegbe
Meanwhile the women of Dodowa are making tie-dyed fabrics reflecting Ghana’s long history of using fabric to beautify body and space. #UKRI #GCRF #SouthSouthMigration Hub puts creativity at its heart, opening up new spaces to understand migration from a human-centred perspective
Off on a West African adventure! First up @cms_moop in Ghana to join #MIASA Fellowship Group on Migration, Mobility and Forced Displacement followed by first meeting of our newly funded #UKRI #GCRF #SouthSouthMigration, Inequality and Development Hub with nearly 40 partners
Of course I’m only able to do this because I’m white and privileged. Sadly my colleagues from around world are unable to travel with same freedoms and ease. It’s complex and expensive to get visas to UK even for world-leading scholars in the field
That’s just one of (many) reasons why all of our #UKRI #GCRF #SouthSouthMigration, Inequality and Development meetings will be held in countries of #GlobalSouth. We need to do everything we can to avoid reproducing inequalities in access to resources and power in the Hub’s work
One of most exciting things about #UKRI #GCRF South-South Migration Hub is chance to work in genuine partnership with excellent migration researchers in Global South inc Joseph Teye @cms_moop and Herns Louis Marcelin @INUREDHAITI who join @alison_phipps and I as Co-Directors...
This is us at end of first intensive, inspiring planning meeting in Accra. The smiles say it all. Whilst #SouthSouthMigration Hub is inevitably shaped by existing politics of #migration knowledge production, it provides avenues for disruption by generating new ways of seeing
By shifting gaze toward #SouthSouthMigration, drawing together diverse researchers from Global South and providing extended opportunities for exchange & training, the Hub will contribute to much-needed and long-overdue decolonisation of migration research theconversation.com/decolonising-r…
Its official...the next five years of my life will be spent as Director of a new @UKRI_News @GCRF South-South Migration, Inequality and Development Hub focusing on relationships between #migration #inequality and process of #development across 12 countries ukri.org/news/global-re…
Migration between countries in Global South accounts for nearly half of all international migration, 70% in some places, contributing to delivery of #SDGs by creating opportunities for work and the transfer of resources, knowledge and skills. But...
...as @Tanjabastia and others have shown, there is a relationship between #migration and #inequality. Benefits of #SouthSouthmigration are undermined by inequalities in migration opportunities and by limited and unequal access to rights for migrants and families. Meanwhile...
