It is sad to say goodbye to @mpimmg, which has been wonderful and intellectually inspiring host for our research! Watch this space for a final post as we wrap up our work!
It's time to say good-bye & Aufwiedersehen to @agemig_MPI. For over 5 years, we have hosted this wonderful group of scholars that investigated the interconnections between two key phenomena in the twenty-first century: ageing populations & global migration https://t.co/vHW8BcEpUB

We are very proud of @agemig_MPI @mpimmg writing fellow Maike Isaac for passing her PhD with distinction at McGill University! Her brilliant dissertation is on ‘refugee men’ as eldercare workers in Germany 🎓🌟🍾
Congratulations to Maike Isaac for successfully defending her PhD: "Men Came: "Refugee Men" Who Do Care Work In Germany". She tells the stories of men who migrated to Germany from West Asia & Africa & became elder care workers. #citizenship #racism #manhood #integration #CareWork
