With unprecedented numbers of people on the move today-symptomatic of a global crisis produced by armed conflict, economic and social inequality, and environmental degradation - we further inquire into the relationship between exiled scholars and refugees. How is exile to be understood today? How do contemporary and historical experiences of exile compare? What are the intellectual legacies of earlier exile scholars? What institutional support is needed for exiled scholars to continue their research and become integrated into German academic life? What are the potential benefits to the host society? Can we bridge the disciplinary distinctions between exile studies and refugee and forced migration studies -traditionally regarded as separate areas of intellectual inquiry to the benefit of Stakeholders inside and outside the academy?
