Migration, (seasonal) labour and (r)urban arrival infrastructures in the Netherlands and Belgium

This PhD research is part of the Horizon2020 project ReROOT, investigating arrival infrastructures as sites of integration for newcomers. This research focuses on these arrival infrastructures in a rural-urban setting, taking labour migration as its vantage point. The research unravels questions of mobility and temporality by undertaking an ethnographic study amongst migrant workers in the agricultural regions of het Westland (NL) and Haspengouw (BE) to explore how these arrival infrastructures for and by migrant workers interact with, and (re)produce precarity, (im)mobility, temporality and orientations towards the future.
