SUMMARY:MiFOOD and R2 Seminar: Remitting for Resilience (R2): Report from Zimbabwe
DESCRIPTION:The first phase of research for the R2 project involved field research exploring the formal and informal remittance practices utilized by migrants\, including internal migrants. Amongst other questions\, the research aims to provide in-depth insight into the motivations for migrants sending practices\, the channels that they utilized and to understand whether (and how) climate-related shocks influenced behaviours. Drawing on data collected from ~450 surveys conducted in three locations in Zimbabwe (Epworth\, Masvingo and Mutare)\, as well as semi-structured interviews\, this paper offers an initial reflection on our findings. In particular\, it will focus on similarities and differences that exist between the three areas and the gendered dimensions of internal migration and sending practices. \nAbout the Speaker \n \nTim Brown is Professor of Global Health Geography\, Department of Geography and Environmental Science\, Queen Mary University of London\, UK. Since 2017\, he has drawn on his well-established expertise as a critical health geographer to support the development of an extensive programme of research focused on child undernutrition\, food insecurity and migration and mobility in southern Africa. This research brings together parallel interests in the role of public health interventions in reforming space and behaviour and does so in a way that has helped to foster interdisciplinary approaches to tackling these major global challenges. He is a member of the international editorial board for Health & Place and the international advisory board for Social Science and Medicine.
