"Migration governance is a multi-dimensional (social, spatial, temporal) process which develops in non-linear ways. Recent scholarly work has paid increasing attention to the role of intermediaries in regulating migration, whether they act as employment agencies, local brokers or government representatives. This workshop builds on this literature and seeks to carry it forward in two distinct directions: first, to reflect on whether and how the role of migration brokers is changing in the post-pandemic period; and second, to bring together the study of migration brokers in temporary, less-skilled migration with an analysis of their role in the migration of the highly skilled, including in our reflection international students, artists or athletes. This workshop considers the pandemic as a ‘critical juncture’ that shapes the role of the migration infrastructure in unexpected ways, while also exploring the interaction between migration infrastructure and migrant agency."
