A panel with Dr. Agnieszka Weinar (Marie Curie Fellow at Carleton University, European University Institute, Florence) and Dr. Alexandra Delano (Global Studies, The New School University, New York).

The event will provide insights into the role that countries and communities of origin play in the immigrant integration processes in countries of destination. The panelists will present the results of current studies of the integration of third-country nationals considered as a three-way process involving immigrants, countries of emigration (specifically Mexico, France, and India), and countries of immigration. The presentations will show how governments and non-governmental institutions in countries of origin make transnational bonds a reality and how these bonds influence the integration process.
