Between April 5th – 9th, 2017 the American Association of Geographers organized Annual Meeting in Boston. A couple of thousands of geographers, predominantly from the USA gathered and discussed various topics. The IMAJINE project researchers from Athens Harokopio University (HUA) Loukia – Maria Fratsea and Apostolos G. Papadopoulos presented a paper titled “Migrant Agency Matters in Times of Precarity”.
The paper discussed the various individual and family strategies developed by migrants in their struggle to alleviate their precarity in the labour market and living insecurity during the migration/refugee crisis in Greece and touch upon the challenges posed in the design and implementation of migration policy. Therefore, this paper’s focus was on discussing the concepts of spatial justice, territorial inequality and social cohesion with the notion of mobility/ migration.
