Immigration has become a central topic of public debate, with the media playing a key role. The Institut Convergences Migrations (IC Migrations), headed by François Héran, Professor at the Collège de France and holder of the Migrations and Societies Chair, has set itself the objectives of deciphering current events by proposing a critical and constructive analysis, without falling prey to the clichés that proliferate on the causes and consequences of migration, establishing facts, apprehending orders of magnitude, and comparing situations rather than isolating them. To this end, the researchers at IC Migrations have decided to put a thematic dossier online each month, comprising an article, a filmed interview with a specialist, a graph putting the data into perspective, a commented image, a book review and a review of the international press.
The first dossier, published on November 15, looks at African migration from an original angle : the return home.
