Lusophone migrants, i.e., migrants originally from countries where Portuguese is the\/an official language, have a strong presence in global mobility. They constitute heterogeneous groups of people hailing from Portugal and its former colonies (Brazil, Angola, Bissau Guinea, Cape Verde, Mozambique, S\u00e3o Tom\u00e9, and Principe\u2026) who often cross paths and live lives of informal survivance and resistance in various host countries. This workshop brings distinguished international scholars researching social inequalities, the contested concept of lusofonia and lusophone\u2019s language, work, educational and social practices in the context of migration. The workshop particularly aims to interrogate situations where lusophones find themselves as migrants and descendants in a \u2018third space\u2019 (Bhabha, 1994), i.e., outside the Portuguese colonial matrix, but also the issues confronted by Portuguese migrants in former Portuguese colonies. It seeks to trigger nuanced discussion related to past colonial connections, asking in particular whether those connections are reproduced or whether new solidarities and arrangements emerge when heterogeneous groups or individuals come together, who share this colonial past, a common hope for a better future but quite different historical positions.<\/p>
