Center for Immigration and Migration Studies
GW’s Center for Immigration and Migration Studies (CIMS) is an interdisciplinary research and academic hub dedicated to exploring the multifaceted dynamics of migration and its impact on societies, cultures and communities.
Our research spans complex issues, including how immigrants and their descendants integrate into destination societies; the historical roots and trajectories of migration; governance and policy frameworks affecting migrants; and the ways in which migration shapes identities, communities and creative expression.
