Crossing borders, connecting cultures

This special conference issue zooms deeper into people’s migration experiences by foregrounding how migration is connected to culture and language. The nexus of migration, and culture is explored in more depth by asking how migration is lived, experienced, mediated, and reflected in general and through everyday cultural, linguistic and artistic practice. Further, this issue is interested in deepening understandings of the complexity and diversity of migration experiences and possibilities of connecting different migrant experiences and groups of people.
