<p style="margin:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">This ESRC-funded conference explores immigration and migrant integration discourses and their influences on policy-making.
The focus will be on three countries: the UK, Germany and Russia. All three countries are important destination countries attracting large numbers of migrants and refugees. At the same time there are distinct differences in migration trajectories and responses
across them. The conference thereby intends to bring the different contexts of these three countries together, and to gain new insights into a topic of great relevance to society, particularly in the context of the current refugee and migration crisis. The
conference is organised by PhD students </span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif;color:black"><a href="http://www.birmingham.ac.uk/schools/government-society/research/doctoral-researchers/profiles/parzniewski-szymon.aspx" target="_blank"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:windowtext">Szymon
