Dear colleagues,

Please join us for a research seminar exploring the trends, issues, and crises surrounding settlement and integration. Presented will be the experiences of Koreans in Kazakhstan and Russian-speakers in Japan and South Korea. We will discuss common and contrasting challenges, factors influencing integration processes, and social policy impact on settlement experiences. Through this seminar, we hope to deepen understanding of the complex dynamics involved in the integration of diverse ethnic groups, identifying best practices and policy recommendations to facilitate integration and promote social cohesion.
