I wish to investigate the number of immigrants from Pakistan to Germany during last year. further what role do they play in the work they perform? what sort of skills do they exhibit? how do they adjust in labor market? how much do the specifically contribute with the economy?

This is the voice of African people. We, the people of Africa and her Diaspora, united in diversity, young and old, men and women, girls and boys from all walks of life, deeply conscious of history, express our deep appreciation to all generations of Pan-Africanists.

I want to know whether this big agenda is communicated to your country's citizens (young and old, men and women, girls and boys from all walks of life) by leaders or any other party. Therefore, I kindly request readers of my ResearchGate from all African countries and diaspora to answer the following questions:

لطالما حاولت تل أبيب تثبيت كيانها في منطقة لا تتشابه و أنظمتها السياسية و الاجتماعية و الثقافية بالخصوص ، باعتمادها على قوة " القهر" الدولية في مرحلة تاريخية من تأسيس النظام الدولي ، و مع المساندة الاستراتيجية التي توليها الإدارات الأمريكية المتعاقبة و الحكومات البريطانية و الفرنسية و عقدة " الذنب " الألمانية الأوروبية بمعاقبة الفلسطينيين على خطأ جسيم قامت به أوروبا. و من أجل التكفير عن الخطيئة من جهة و عدم الاستعداد لإحتضان يهود الشتات من جهة ثانية و انتهاك الصهاينة المتطرفين للقانون الدولي الغربي من ثالثة ، تطرح مسألة أحقية اليهود بالوجود مرة أخرى ، ليس بسبب عودة النازيين إلى حاضرنا و لكن عندما أصبح الصهاينة نسخة ثانية من النازية نفسها ؟!

Tel Aviv has always tried to establish its entity in a region whose political, social and cultural systems in particular are not similar, by relying on international “coercive” power in a historical stage of the establishment of the international system, and with the strategic support given by successive American administrations and the British and French governments and the complex. The German-European "guilt" of punishing the Palestinians for a serious mistake committed by Europe. In order to atone for the sin on the one hand, and for the lack of willingness to embrace the Jews of the diaspora on the other hand, and for the extremist Zionists’ violation of Western international law on the third, the issue of the Jews’ right to exist is raised again, not because of the return of the Nazis to our present, but when the Zionists became a second version of Nazism. Herself?!

Ashkenazi Jews co-exist and cooperate with the North Western European self-filter because the former are at least partially diaspora of the Levantine, mixed with whoever is recessive enough to continue their phenotype,(Levantine were some of the few Mediterraneans who were not subject to the dysgenic forces of petty nationalism, which is clinging to a homeland thus being subject to dysgenic forces). “Conservatives may have more kids but, liberals are more likely to use life extension and to have increased socioeconomic status. Removing almost all doubt, the self-imposed demographic decline of the North Western Europeans is an attempt to filter SO, only their GENERALLY smartest remain. Progressivism rightfully did NOT emerge from the Jews but, from North Western Europeans recognizing that under their continued empire, proving constructivism more so than hereditarianism, they would be subject to dysgenic forces and then become petty nationalists, and they have mysterious impulses to check their own unchecked power, as the most powerful group. As that was the case with the Mediterraneans. Plus, GENERALLY the highest IQ North Western Europeans are liberals and they GENERALLY get more progressive on race relations the more intelligent they become. ALL DISPARITIES are the fault of the North Western Europeans, thus the MOST ENLIGHTENED North Western European people should be cloned so they and their descendants can pay reparations. And the recessive privileges of being an Enlightened North Western European should MAYBE be distributed through genetically engineered somatic mutations”(Ohnemus 2024)

I am in Health Communication but I need collaboration with colleagues outside Nigeria so we can co-author articles. Thanks.

Hello everyone! I need the help of experienced academics who are good at conducting a semi-structured interview. This is my first experience and I need your advices and suggestions. I am going to conduct interview with Kazakh diapora members in Turkkey to identify their perception of homeland and discuss their identity-related issues. I would be happy to get any ideas and suggestions.

So I have been thinking a lot about this lately. Are there grounds of similarities between African feminisms like Negofeminism, Stiwanism, Motherism among others and that of black women in the diaspora?

Anybody with any critical thoughts on this issue?

I'm investigating the role of diasporas in impact investments schemes, including social exchanges. Any related references would be helpful.

Thanks in advance!

Have you ever read a novel entitled "No Freinds but just Mountains" by Boochani?

Which approach could be used in order to review this novel?

Is it possible to apply Diaspora concepts, since it is mostly focused on the Kiarkirachy system?

Dear Colleagues revising your #syllabi for the spring semester,

if any of you assigns any of my work [https://harrismylonas.com/publications/] I'm happy to join your class virtually if we can schedule it. #nationbuilding #nationalism #diaspora #ethnicity

I am contributing to local guidelines and my local population has a high Pakistani diaspora (1st and 2nd generations). My experience suggests that they present with more cognitive and mood symptoms than pain. Pain being a secondary concern. Does anyone have any similar experiences or advice?

Bangladeshi writing in English is an emerging field, which is expanding through some writers from within Bangladesh and others living in various countries as diaspora. Some writers, however, have already earned international recognition. I seek your thoughts about the circulation of Bangladeshi literature in English around the world.

We understand diasporas as “migrants or descendants of migrants, whose identity and sense of belonging have been shaped by their migration experience and background.” (IOM Glossary on Migration, 2019). While the term was originally used to describe the forced displacement of certain peoples, nowadays, we use it more in sense of taxonomy or 'groupification' of people on the basis of region, religion, or nationality. What is the overall effect of 'diaspora' in the overall sense of 'belonging' or 'discrimination' for those who left their native places in search of livelihood?

"A group of people who live outside the area in which they had lived for a long time or in which their ancestors lived." is the explanation for the term Diaspora.

Indian diaspora” has one of the world's most diverse and complex immigration histories. Since the 1700th century, ethnic Indians have established communities on every continent as well as on islands in the Caribbean and the Pacific and Indian oceans. the Indo-Canadian community is arguably the largest Indian diaspora in the world and the second-largest immigrant group in Canada. India has a long history of immigration to Canada dating back to 1800s. currently 13.4 percent immigrants to Canada comprises of Indians which is second only to Philippines. In this context this paper seeks to examine the contribution of immigrants, particularly, Indian immigrants in the economy of Canada.

I'm interested in finding comparative studies on return migration of emigrants in Europe and developed countries, with particular interest in Diaspora policies and approach to welfare-based policy for emigrant citizens.

Under the current political climate, we have an unusual commonality that seems to arise as a direct result of Trumpism and Netanyahu led Likud dominance marching in step with one another. This relationship appears to be symbiotic.

While the politics du jour favor each other, there are skeptics who warn us that it may backfire.

I ask you: what is your opinion?

How does the largest Diaspora community (the US) view Israeli politics and vice versa, what do Israelis think?

What do you think is the likely trend in the future?

Researchers generally focus the writings of Meena Alexander and Sujata Bhatt through Diaspora; some of them focus her writings in diasporic perspectives. This thesis sense of the social issues dealt by her in selected poems. The researcher also met experts to collect the useful material for the present study. The research work has been conducted by research scholars on Indian Diaspora studies, expatriate studies as well as under the study of Indian literature in English. Several articles and reviews have been featured in various journals and anthologies in India, U.S., and England on her poetry, novels and memoir. The researcher has looked for the telling words or phrases, the recurring or patterned imagery, the symbolic object or character as a hint or clue to the meaning.

we are making a project to facilitate the money transfer directed to the expatriates

I am trying to look for whether the use of the biological theory of race has reduced or transnationalism has a different way of classifying people into different categories (e.g. diasporas, ethnicity, or geographic origin of the migrants, etc.,) with distinct status and power!

I am trying to understand the impact of the contemporary global market economy on international migration and immigration policies of the Western countries. In particular, I am trying to look for whether the use of the biological theory of race has reduced or transnationalism has a different way of classifying people into different categories (e.g. diasporas, ethnicity, or geographic origin of the migrants, etc.,) with distinct status and power!

This is a matter of cultural cross-fertilization: how far can it be effectuated? What are the new hybrid creations forged in Britain and accepted by mainstream British culture?

A lot of people claim they're members of a diaspora. But what does it mean, actually : belonging to a loose network of people with common historical links or being an active agent in a community of families calling for re-unification?

I am not a believer just an observer, but I have long relations with the Islamic world and I have noticed changes on the periphery of Islam, one being a greater willingness to discuss matters with other cultures, a less fixed approach, no matter recent developments in the Middle East (which itself can be seen as a reaction to globalisation), and also a re-structuring and re-embedding of Islamic ideologies through Western ideas.

I believe that with the present Moslem diaspora this is a crucial time for a religion that for over a thousand years has shielded itself from other cultures' views, claimed at times the superiority of its views as those given by god, and rarely engaged in mutual dialogue (others may not agree).

I want to develop a research project on senegalese migrants in south america: trend and patterns of senegalese migration. In the context of straitghtening barriers to Europe and the economical crises in south america what are the means developped by senegalese migrant?

Looking specifically for works germane to Cultural Heritage studies, i.e.:

- Tangible cultural heritage concrete cultural objects, such as artifacts, works of art, buildings, and books

- Intangible cultural heritage phenomena such as traditions, language, handicraft skills, folklore, and knowledge

- Natural cultural heritage culturally significant landscapes, biodiversity, and geo-diversity ((Hyvönen, 2012)

Dear Laia and Anna,

I find your project very interesting. Please let me know if diasporic processes are relevant to your approach.

Kind regards,

Does anyone has the reference named "a new pliocene cat from kansas" by JJ Stephens - 1959 - University of Michigan Press?   

I am a researcher doing a human-environment interactions PhD focused on water management in the United States, and am curious if you have any wisdom to share. Keep up the great work!

while translating any text, in India,most of the translators take liberty in inserting their own ideas according to the contemporary situation. Classical Sanskrit texts of times immemorial still are being translated into regional languages in India.one text like Ramayana is being translated into Telugu, a regional language in India by 200 translators. I want to know in western countries do they accept if any translator make any change in the theme of the Source Language while adopting it into Target Language. 

I am interested in studying narratives from Latin America (esp. Mexico) focusing on topics such as money, precarity, debt, esp. from the years from the external debt crisis to present.  I am very familiar with recent literature and film from Spain, but not so much from Latin America.  I know novels such as Piglia’s Plata quemada, Gumucio’s La deuda, Ortuño’s Recursos Humanos and films such as Amores perros, El baño del Papa, 7 cajas, La deuda (Oliver's Deal)...

Flying to Ethiopia on Saturday. I will be in Addis Ababa (affiliated with the French Centre for Ethiopian Studies) studying government diaspora policies. I will be interviewing state officials, policy experts, journalists, and academics. Any contacts or recommendations for readings you have are more than welcome!

The Global Financial Crisis 2008/2009 seems to have affected diaspora remittances among other influences. Micro-finance institutions, being depository and lending institutions, may have been affected by the crisis. Do you think this was the case?

I am doing a comparative research on US and EU on the making and marketing of latinas identities.

I am conducting a study on the socio-economic coping and adaptation mechanisms employed by African  women migrant in South Africa. I am looking at post apartheid era.

Many countries have a long history of migrations...Is that mentioned in school texts when talking about multiculturalism?.

I am presently doing a thesis for a masters in Contemporary studies in Migration and the Diaspora and I wish to study the effect of returning emigrants to Ireland in the present economic climate, specifically those who return and have no choice but to live in with their families and thus the challenges both the family and returning emigrant experiences.  Any information/advice would be greatly appreciated.

I want to examine how the introduction of African populations into Brazil might be visible in types of food produced or ingredients used. For example in the US gumbo is a dish rooted in African cuisine named after the central ingredient okra.

What is the role of myths in today's culture? How could they be reinterpreted? What is the role of myths and folklore in diasporic communities (particularly for Iranian)?

I wonder if I can interpret the termination of conflict as a political opportunity arising in the homeland which can be interpreted by diasporas as an opportunity/threat in order to mobilize. However, the problem with the social movement theory is the mechanisms and processes. I would appreciate your comments

Most of emigrants from South Asia in Europe and North America have their roots in rural communities in home countries. They maintain emotional links with place of origin also contribute individually to the well-being of those left behind. It is their collective effort that would make a real difference.

...Or why don't you use it?

I'm working on Nigerians in London and I have been interchangeably using the term community and diaspora to refer to over 50,000 nigerians who reside in the city of London. I understand that the terms, particulary 'diaspora', have evolved over the past decade and I would like some clarification on their current meaning in Migration.

Although immigration processes are usually analyzed as a part of international relations the existence of immigrant and ethnic minority issues as a part of the political interactions between

two countries seem to be usually underestimated. Those interactions might be partially influenced by diaspora policy.
