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.

Dr. Nikolai Huke, Eberhard Karls Universität Tübingen
Willkommenskultur vs. Ablehnungskultur und autoritärem Populismus
Fast zeitgleich kam es vor etwa fünf Jahren zu gegenläufigen großen Mobilisierungen in Deutschland: Millionen Ehrenamtliche und politisch Aktive hießen Geflüchtete Willkommen - und konträr dazu verliefen die autoritär-populistischen Mobilisierungen gegen die Aufnahme Geflüchteter und eine angebliche 'Islamisierung des Abendlandes'. Nikolai Huke wird sich den Bewegungen der 'Ablehnungskultur' widmen und die deutsche Situation in den europäischen und globalen Kontext einordnen. Wie diese Mobilisierungen zu verstehen und zu benennen sind, ist eine weitere Frage, der sich der Vortrag widmen wird. Der Referent Nikolai Huke forscht aktuell zu 'Willkommenskultur und Demokratie' und ist Mitherausgeber von 'Autoritärer Populismus', das im Mai 2020 im Verlag Westfälisches Dampfboot erschienen ist.
Veranstalter: Forschungsprojekt "Willkommenskultur und Demokratie" (Förderung: BMBF) an den Universitäten Kassel, Osnabrück (IMIS) und Tübingen.

Dr. Roderick Bailey, University of Oxford
War and Disease Control
Roderick Bailey, Research Fellow at Oxford’s new Wellcome Centre for Ethics and Humanities specialises in the study of modern war and conflict, the history of medicine, and the spaces in which those worlds overlap. His current research looks at international responses to outbreaks of epidemic disease in Italy in 1943-44, Germany in 1945, Palestine in 1948 and Korea in 1951, with a particular focus on vector control and the movement and management of human populations. Away from academia, he has worked extensively in post-conflict countries as an official observer of international elections for the European Union and OSCE, and in Afghanistan with the British Army.
