Introduction
I'm currently working on projects related to the highly educated migrants at the Ca' Foscari University of Venice. After the MSCA experience in which I focused on female migrant writers from the multidimensional analytical lens of the migratory career as key for the identification of central turning points articulated in women’s heterogeneous biographies and in-between transformation spaces.

Recent studies on international migrations and human mobility show that migrant and refugee women build an intersectional consciousness at the global level through storytelling and rewriting actions, which contributes to the reconceptualisation of unconventional forms of women’s participation in the construction of decentralized knowledge, in oppos...

Chapter
Full-text available
En los estudios migratorios existe una dicotomía entre emigración y retorno, que lleva a disociar los dos procesos en dos discursos separados; sin embargo, están estrechamente conectados. En particular, en los discursos sobre el retorno se ha creado un mito que no se corresponde a la realidad vivida por las personas retornadas a sus países de orige...

Question
Good morning to all, I have received an invitation to publish a paper from Noves Ricerca Group in a Q2 Journal. They have read my paper and very quickly they have accepted it for publication. It is very strange, because they ensure a publication in 25 days. I have already contacted with the Journal in which they say I can publish my article, but I have no answers. Could anyone tell me if I can trust? Before accepting their service I would like to hear some experience.
