CCoM is a project funded by the Economic and Social Research Council.The three part symposium will address the following questions: (a) How is care recognised, understood, constrained, fractured, and practiced in the context of a multiplicity of “migration crisis” narratives? (b) How do diverse global understandings of care and childhood come into contact, conflict with, and/or amplify each other and “migration crisis” narratives? (c) What are the diverse and diffuse effects of the intersections of care, childhood, and “migration crisis” narratives for children and young people living migrating in and through diverse global contexts?
