Marta Bivand Erdal

Marta Bivand Erdal is Research Professor in Migration Studies at Peace Research Institute Oslo (PRIO), where she is Co-Director of the PRIO Migration Center. As a Human Geographer she is interested in the impacts of migration and transnationalism in both emigration and immigration contexts. Her research is about migration, development and remittances, and about living together in societies shaped by migration-related diversity, including on citizenship and belonging. Marta’s work draws on interview, focus group, and survey data, paying critical attention to the use of categories. She has published extensively within and beyond migration studies and regularly engages with governmental and non-governmental stakeholders.
