We Are All Migrants: Continuing Effects of Migration on Later Generations.
Chair(s): Polli Hagenaars (C5, Netherlands, The)
Since time immemorial, people have been on the move. Migration is part of human species throughout time and across places. The impact on later generations and societies continues. People's minds, well-being and social relationships still bear the scars of the past, dehumanisation, supremacist colonial thinking, marginalisation, exclusion, homicide and genocide.
