In recent decades, the growth of immigrant communities in Europe has prompted controversial political and discursive contexts. Due to a combination of factors, real or imagined boundaries between the majority group population and minority migrant groups have brought about or affected policy measures aimed at managing immigration and integration, as well as have fueled debate regarding the legitimacy of these migrant groups. In particular, European political, social and even academic rhetoric has often framed Muslims as 'the other,' both in terms of migrant background, and in juxtaposition with Europe's historic Christian tradition and today's mainstream secularism. Muslim youth face discrimination in their European communities of residence that militates against a sense of belonging, compounding the disadvantages that children of migrant parents otherwise face. Second generation Muslims negotiate pluralist realities and multiple attachments, and express complex identities. As citizens, they are entitled to comprehensive inclusion, and their rights and opportunities should be equal to that of peers with native-born parents. In reality, they can grapple with social or institutional discrimination and xenophobia.

"Population movements taking place in past decades, including those reaching the European Union, defy straightforward and simplistic conceptions of drivers, trajectories and forms of migration. Approaching migration journeys as non-linear processes, this book looks into the conditions and legal-policy frameworks at broad spaces of mobility interlinking several origin, transit, destination and host contexts in South/Central/Western Asia, Eastern/Central/Western Africa, Central and South America, and Europe to provide a more nuanced understanding of mixed migration. It also looks at specific migratory trends towards the European Union before and after the so-called 'migration crisis' (2009-2020), while paying particular attention to gender- and sexuality-specific dynamics and patterns"--

ABSTRACT
This paper describes a short-term, accounting-related study abroad program (STASA). Unlike traditional study abroad programs whose primary objective is to expose students to international environs and cultures, the described STASA also helps address the demands of accounting students' future employers and accreditors by helping develop students' transnational teaming skills and meaningfully integrating international accounting curricula. We do this by having U.S.-based students work both remotely and colocated with students from another country to complete an international accounting-related project. A detailed description of the STASA is provided that includes design considerations, learning objectives, implementation guidance, and possible grading options. Also included are answers to frequently asked questions about course execution, partnering with an international university, and funding.

Predicting mass migration is one of the main challenges for policymakers and NGOs working with migrants worldwide. Recently there has been a considerable increase in the use of computational techniques to predict migration flows, and advances have allowed for application of improved algorithms in the field. However, given the rapid pace of technological development facilitating these new predictive tools and methods for migration, it is important to address the extent to which such instruments and techniques engage with and impact migration governance. This study provides an in-depth examination of selected existing predictive tools in the migration field and their impact on the governance of migratory flows. It focuses on a comparative qualitative examination of these tools' scope, as well as how these characteristics link to their respective underlying migration theory, research question, or objective. It overviews how several organisations have developed tools to predict short- or longer-term migration patterns, or to assess and estimate migration uncertainties. At the same time, it demonstrates how and why these instruments continue to face limitations that in turn affect migration management, especially as it relates to increasing EU institutional and stakeholder efforts to forecast or predict mixed migration. The main predictive migration tools in use today cover different scopes and uses, and as such are equally valid in shaping the requirements for a future, fully comprehensive predictive migration tool. This article provides clarity on the requirements and features for such a tool and draws conclusions as to the risks and opportunities any such tool could present for the future of EU migration governance.
