The QB-IMMGS brings together a community of students, scholars, and researchers working on the pressing global issues of migration, mobility, displacement, and borders. 

The theme for the 2026 Symposium is Borders, and (Un)Bordering: Analyzing Migration and (Im)Mobility In An Era Of "Polycrisis". We invite papers that delve into the co-existence and interweaving of multiple crises such as an acute socio-economic crisis, ecological crisis, persisting racial injustice, conflict, health-care crisis the growth and the rapid spread of far-right populism, breakdown of international order and the denial / exclusion of citizenship rights. It also invites papers that explore resistance and practices of (un)bordering. 

This event is a part of Queen’s University’s participation in #SDGMonthCanada, a nation-wide commitment to mobilizing the SDGs across campuses.

Open to all audiences, this event is virtual and free to attend.

How it works

Unlike a formal association conference, this Symposium is intended to be an inclusive and welcoming space for students to share their work, and to receive valuable feedback from their peers and faculty members. 

Students can apply for a panel discussion if their work is in its later stages, or the roundtable discussion if they are at the beginning stages of their research.
