On Tuesday, May 27, 2025, I defended my doctoral thesis entitled “#Returning Home or Moving Elsewhere?: #Family Dynamics, #Migration Policies, and #Migration Trajectories of African Migrants Living in Belgium and Canada.”
I would like to express my deepest admiration and heartfelt gratitude to those who have shaped my academic journey: Schoumaker,B and Flahaux,M.L, supervisors of this thesis, Bocquier, P. @MobheAgbada, and Thierry Eggerickx, jury members, as well as Sorana Toma, external evaluator
The thesis highlights the key role of #family structure and #administrative stability, underlines the ambivalent effects of #migration policies, and recommends a tri-contextual approach to understand the complexity of migration #trajectories better.

Merci, cher @TheCongolese1, pour ce rappel. #Méritocratie
La plupart de nos débats ne mènent à rien, car, le plus souvent, ils ne tournent pas autour de la recherche de solutions à des problèmes donnés. Chacun cherche plutôt à prouver qu'il est soit intelligent, soit qu'il a raison. Ou pire, à désigner qui a tort et à qui revient la faute !
