Migration psychology: global dynamics of family, policy, and inclusion

Research output: Book/ReportBookpeer-review

Abstract

This book examines the global dimensions of migration psychology, showing how migration shapes family life, policy frameworks, and processes of inclusion and exclusion. As the second volume of a two-part collection, it expands the focus beyond the United Kingdom to highlight the psychological experiences of migrants across diverse international contexts. Chapters explore themes of intergenerational separation, circular migration, language and identity, and the role of cultural practices in sustaining wellbeing. Grounded in psychology and in conversation with sociology, theology, and the arts, the volume demonstrates how migration is both a deeply personal journey and a systemic, political phenomenon. By foregrounding issues of family, belonging, faith, culture, and community, this book offers a timely, multidisciplinary contribution to migration studies. It will be essential reading for scholars, students, and practitioners interested in psychology, migration, diaspora, and the social dynamics of inclusion.
