1) We are delighted to share that our paper ”Understanding security and wellbeing of new populations in Chattogram, Bangladesh revealed through perceptions, voices and images of migrants.”  was selected for oral presentation at the TransRe closing conference “Adaptation in Motion”, to be held from 5th to 7th September in Bonn.

According to the organisers it was a competitive process given the overall quality of the submissions. We look forward to sharing our initial results with the research community interested in migration, human security and wellbeing.  For more information please check TransRe’s website at http://www.transre.org/en/

2) We completed our survey data quality checks and are currently conducting the first phase of analysis. The descriptive statistics will help summarise our data in a meaningful way such that we will be able to report the first patterns that emerge from the data. We will be able to observe central tendency and spread of our data on migrants’ perception of human security, well-being, aspirations and more.
