The overall aim of the conference is to make a significant contribution to the development of migration theory. In order to achieve this, it will focus on three interlinked concepts: border(land), citizenship and cosmopolitanism. These are currently highly debated in transnational and transdisciplinary academic discourses – initiating a fruitful dialogue between them might lead to paradigmatic shifts in migration studies and beyond. In order to do so, the conference examines specific dimensions of the ongoing deep transformation of statehood, citizenship, sovereignty and identity formations in sending, transit, and receiving states (cf. Mezzadra).
The conference programme is divided in three sections, each combining keynote lectures and panels, with keynotes by (in alphabetical order) Dr. Chris Allen (University of Birmingham/UK) Prof. Dr. David B. Coplan (University of the Witwatersrand/South Africa), Dr. Iriann Freemantle (University of the Witwatersrand/South Africa), Dr. Encarnacion Gutierrez-Rodriguez (University of Manchester/UK), Prof. Dr. Marion von Osten (Academy of Fine Arts/Vienna, Austria), Prof. Dr. Ranabir Samaddar (Mahanirban Calcutta Research Group/India), Prof. Dr. William Walters (Carleton University/Canada).
The foci of the sections are:
I Border Regimes: Formations of European and African Border(land)s
II Border Imaginaries: On the Discursive (De-)Construction of Demarcation Lines
III Transgression of Borders and Transnational Social Experiences: A New Cosmopolitanism or Translocal, Postnational Citizenship
In addition workshops for graduates and postgraduates are planned.

You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
