As a graduate student, I participated in several transnational collective surveys. All these projects combined qualitative and quantitative data to shed new light on contemporary migration trajectories. Collected from migrants’ countries of origin and destination, these projects also involved transnational teams, bringing together researchers from the South, and the North, to advance our collective understanding of the implications of human mobility:
