Ge.M.IC. will explore mixed and transnational families as privileged spaces of intercultural interaction. Migrant mobility is transforming institutions, such as the family, commonly associated with national and local identities and representations into transnational spaces, where cultural and gender relations intersect to produce new and unprecedented forms of belonging. The specific thematic area will focus in particular on the ways in which these new forms of identity and belonging transform gender relations within the family and across societies of origin and destination.
