Dan Robins

Dr Dan Robins is an Honorary Research Fellow at the University of St Andrews' School of Geography and Sustainable Development. His research focuses on migration studies, geographical imagination, social class dynamics, and globalization. He has published extensively on topics such as lifestyle migration from the Global South to the Global North and the role of ideology in migration patterns. His work bridges human geography, sociology, and urban studies.

Research Interests: Robins' work explores migration motivations, migrant subjectivity, and the intersection of social class with geographical mobility. He examines how migrants construct and negotiate identities in superdiverse urban centers like London, emphasizing the interplay between individual agency and structural forces.

Key Research Trends: His publications in 2019 highlight migration's cultural and spatial dimensions, including return migration mechanisms, decision-making processes tied to geographical imaginaries, and the sociopolitical implications of lifestyle-driven movements. These studies underscore the complexity of migration beyond economic factors, incorporating ideological and class-based motivations.
