If migration in the past was mostly of unskilled workers, currently the migration is among skilled workers as well as students moving abroad in search of better living conditions,” said Divya Balan, assistant professor at FLAME University, Pune. Experts also said that though gender divide among migrants is less visible in Kerala, when compared to a few other states in India, there is lack of narratives about female migration abroad. Therefore, there is a need to conduct more studies from Kerala on migration from marginalized sections of the society, including those from queer communities. The session also touched upon the history and transformation of the political economy of the Gulf region during the colonial and post-colonial era. It delved into the societal factors within the state that triggered the migration of Malayalis to the region, particularly in the 1970s. “St Teresa’s College is celebrating its 100-year legacy and the college has always advocated social transformation through education. We curated the seminar to dissect the multiple layers of migration from the state to the globe,” said Leela P U, faculty at the sociology department, which organized the seminar.
