Migration, mobility and the dynamics of kinship: New barriers, new assemblages

Funding

The Special Issue originates from an interdisciplinary workshop held at the University of Amsterdam in December 2017. The workshop was funded by the “Globalizing Culture” and “Political Sociology” program groups of the Amsterdam Institute for Social Science Research (AISSR). We appreciate the inputs of workshop participants, particularly Akosua Adomako Ampofo, Thomas Hylland Eriksen, Hein De Haas and Sébastien Chauvin. Most papers in this issue have been presented in a panel at the 2019 AAA meeting in Vancouver. We are grateful to our discussant Charles Piot for his insightful comments. We are also grateful to Ethnography Editors Francio Guadaloupe and Sarah Bracke, who managed our issue. Special thanks go to Managing Editor Robert Davidson for his assistance. Lastly, we would like to thank the reviewers of all papers in this issue who provided detailed and challenging feedback and helped authors improve their papers.
