Who We Are

Founded in 1998, the CMD has become a major source for research, teaching and the public dissemination of knowledge regarding migration and development. The CMD sponsors a wide array of research, travel and conference programs aimed at linking scholars with interests in migration and development. We are also expanding  our scope with research on race and ethnicity, especially as it relates to migration and development. 
 
We develop this and other subject through research and publications and as part of our regular colloquium series which is open to Princeton faculty and students but also members of the community at large.
 
The Center's data archive and working papers series provides readily available resources based on recent research conducted at Princeton.
