Complexity of Anthropocene Migration Project (CAMP)

Funding Years: 2024-2026

The Complexity of Anthropocene Migration Project (CAMP) team will lead path-breaking research into the 21st-century reasons of why and how people are (or are not) moving during humanitarian crises. By working with global experts on climate change, migration, and humanitarian crisis, we will explore the state of the science as well as peer into the future of where we might be headed. The team will hold a mid-project virtual, expert workshop to examine initial framings of Anthropocene mobility. Likewise, during this workshop, we will collaboratively imagine new scenarios for the future of Anthropocene mobility. During the second phase of the project, we will use the scenarios to reflect on current theories of Anthropocene mobility, and potentially identify new analytical approaches for future research. During the course of the project the CAMP team will mentor early career scientists in conducting research on this topic.
