FFVT on point: Forced Migration in and out of Ukraine – some (lesser known) facets
As a result of the war in the Donbas in 2014 and increasingly since the direct Russian attack on Ukraine in February 2022, five million people are fleeing - both within the country and out of Ukraine. FFVT on point takes a closer look at this flight movement and asks how this heterogeneous group is composed, where the people are taking themselves to safety and which reception and support structures are emerging and becoming active here alongside those of the receiving states and international organisations. FVVT on point thus focuses on aspects that have not been the focus of previous media and academic analysis of the refugee situation in order to present a more differentiated picture of the flight to and from Ukraine.
We look forward to the expertise of Dr. Viktoriya Sereda, UCU Lviv / IKK Jena; Prof. Dr. Jannis Panagiotidis, RECET Universität Wien; Dr. Franck Düvell, FFVT, IMIS, Universität Osnabrück
Organisation: Marcel Berlinghoff
Time and Date: 4. April 2022, 5-6:30 pm (CEST), online (Zoom)
Virtual conference: “The Moral Economies of Knowledge Production on Migration: Conflicts, Values, Positionalities"
2-4 December 2020
Organized by the interdisciplinary Research Group “The Production of Knowledge on Migration” (IMIS)
The conference approaches the interconnection between the production of knowledge and migration by placing a particular emphasis on the struggles that centre on peoples’ mobilities and their ‘correct’ quantification, categorization, and interpretation. Conflicts about migration and its effects as well as the struggles of migrants themselves often lay bare not only the different experiences and socioeconomic situations of the many actors involved but also their conflicting worldviews and value systems. In order to make such conflicts intelligible, participants apply the notion of moral economies as it has been discussed in different disciplines recently.

Online Panel Debate
1 October 2020, 17:00-18:30 (CEST), online
Forced Migration and Refugee Studies: Networking and Knowledge Transfer (FFVT)
About the Non/Sense of Distinguishing between Migrants and Refugees – a Debate
In policy and public, it is often taken for granted to distinguish between migrants and refugees. However, researchers and practitioners tend to find that matters in the field are more intricate, reject a simple dichotomy, and struggle to assign clear labels to the opalescent realities.
In this panel debate, we aim to shed light on the diverse legal, scholarly and discursive practices and carve out lines of controversies to better understand the reasoning behind the different approaches. We have invited three distinguished guests from different disciplines, namely em. Prof Roger Zetter at the Refugee Studies Centre at University of Oxford, Prof Heaven Crawley, Centre for Trust, Peace and Social Relations at Coventry University and Dr Dana Schmalz, Max Planck Institute for Comparative Public Law and International Law, Heidelberg/Berlin.
The debate is hosted by the Institute for Migration Research and Intercultural Studies at Osnabrück University (IMIS) and part of the FFVT-Workshop Series. It will be held online via Zoom Webinar. For registration, please send an email to ffvt@uos.de including name, affiliation and email address by 28 September.
