Moved by Modernity: How Development Shapes Migration in Rural Ethiopia
In this book talk, Kerilyn Schewel will offer a lecture on her new book, Moved by Modernity (Oxford University Press, 2025). The book challenges assumptions that we need to "develop" the countries migrants are leaving and addresses the root causes of migration. All are welcome to join what is sure to be a lively conversation about migration today.
