Bridging the East Asia-Europe Divide: Insights from the Singapore Workshop on Migration Regimes

Building on our commitment to mapping the complexities of global mobility, our team recently participated in the workshop "New Dynamics in Asia's Migration Regimes" on 15-16 January 2026 at the Asia Research Institute (ARI), National University of Singapore. The event aims to understand how demographic shifts and acute labor shortages in Asia are reconfiguring the way states manage migrant labor.

“Let No Irishman Throw a Stone at the Foreigner”: Remembering and Forgetting Solidarity in Contemporary Ireland

Walking through the streets of Cork, a recent mural by the artist Claire Coughlan reads: “Let no Irishman throw a stone at the foreigner; he may hit his own clansman’’— James Connolly It is a striking reminder of Connolly’s vision of solidarity – one that rejects the politics of exclusion and recognises the shared histories of displacement and oppression. Yet, beneath this powerful appeal lies a deeper tension: what does it mean for a postcolonial, now increasingly diverse Ireland, to memorialise Connolly’s words at a time when the anti-immigration far-right movement is fuelling hostility and discrimination against migrants, refugees and asylum seekers in Ireland?

Building Connections in South Korea

South Korea has emerged as a significant new site for observing migration-mobilities and migration politics in East Asia. The MIGMOBS project is currently engaged in work, involving post-doc Meiyun Meng, Gracia Liu-Farrer (Waseda University, Tokyo), and Adrian Favell on patterns and experiences of high skilled professional movers from China in Seoul and Tokyo. MIGMOBS PI Adrian Favell travelled to Korea in late November to attend a major conference in Asian Studies at Seoul National University, "Mega-Asia: A New Perspective on Asia".
