"How can we explain the causes and effects of global migration from the perspective of sending states and migrants themselves? The Migration and Development Regime introduces a novel analytical framework to help answer this question in India, the world’s largest emigrant exporter and the world’s largest remittance-receiving country. Drawing on an archival analysis of Indian government documents, a new data base of Indian migrants’ transnational organizations, and unique interviews with poor and elite Indian emigrants, recruiters, and government officials, this book exposes the vital role the Indian state, as well as its poor and elite emigrants, have long played in forging and legitimizing class inequalities within India through their management of international emigration."

Developing tuberculosis vaccines for people with HIV: consensus statements from an international expert panel
The Lancet HIV, Newswise, Oct. 11, 2022
People living with HIV must be included in clinical trials for new tuberculosis vaccine candidates currently in the development pipeline, say experts on an international panel convened last year to address gaps in the current TB vaccine landscape.
Their recommendations, which appear in a new paper published Oct. 11, 2022, in The Lancet HIV, are designed to shape the future of TB vaccine development and help ensure people living with HIV have access to safe and effective TB vaccines like those for the general population. The article was published in The Lancet HIV with CIDI Co-Director Vidya Mave, MD, MPH, serving as a co-author and Amita Gupta, MD, MHS, as a co-senior author.
