Publications

A really good key source for teachers to engage with academic geography of migration is: Castles, S. de Haas, H. and Miller, M.J. (2019) The Age of Migration: International Population Movements in the Modern World (sixth edition). Basingstoke: Palgrave Macmillan. 

Online case studies are available as an adjunct to the book http://www.age-of-migration.com/additional-case-studies
