The Global Migration Center, joint with University of California Alianza MX, organized the 1st Summer School on the "Economics of Migration" on September 6-9, 2022, in Sonoma, CA.
The 1st Summer School on the Economics of Migration lasted for four days and took place at Westerbeke Ranch, Sonoma, CA, from September 6th to September 9th, 2022.

In the afternoon, students presented their own research ideas or drafts and received feedback from faculty. The school's atmosphere encouraged conversation and feedback in small groups. Students and faculty shared meals together, fostering the development of mentoring relationships and networks among peers.
