This workshop is organized by the Asia Research Institute, National University of Singapore, and the Institute for Research on Contemporary Southeast Asia, with funding support from the AMORCE Grant by National Centre for Scientific Research.

The scoping workshop aims to progress towards the drafting of a large-scale research project on migration routes – their assemblage, maintenance and reorganizations. It aims at gathering innovative propositions, by focusing on brokers (a social figure), and brokerage (a social practice). This emphasis acknowledges the conceptual antecedence of brokerage as an analytical category, as intermediation forms the fundamental practice underlying the framing of migration routes by assembling their segments.
