Christine Lang — Fri, 01 Jul 2022 08:49:16 +0000

Reflexive approaches in migration studies have revealed the problems of traditional constructions of the objects of migration research.

Don’t Expect Too Much of 2050

Marco Bitschnau — Fri, 11 Dec 2020 08:40:23 +0000

It is human nature to imagine a future much different from the present, but the excess of this trait can also easily lead us astray. And while we may indeed reappraise the current mobilities and immobilities against the backdrop of climate change, we should be careful not to raise our

What Forms of Migration and Mobility Will We Condemn in 2050?

Lorenzo Piccoli — Thu, 19 Nov 2020 08:30:57 +0000

Some of the ways we practice and regulate human movement today may be fundamentally reassessed in the future. The Covid-19 pandemic, the ensuing travel restrictions, and the social experience of being in lockdown may trigger or accelerate a profound transformation in how we perceive human movement and its social impact,

Alors que la recherche sur le sans-abrisme, en tant que condition d’existence nécessitant de vivre dans la rue ou de séjourner dans des centres d’hébergement d’urgence, a donné lieu à la constitution d’un champ de recherche dès les années 1980 en Europe, elle ne s’est que peu développée en Suisse.

COVID Postscript

Bridget Anderson — Thu, 14 May 2020 07:30:44 +0000

The COVID-19 outbreak has emphasized more than ever the question of how researchers can avoid reproducing the problematic and racialized representation of the “migrant” resulting from states’ efforts to prevent certain people’s mobilities. Recognizing how the national-scale perspective shapes and restricts our thinking, and starting by not differentiating between migrants

The Migrant-Citizen Nexus in View of the Coronavirus Pandemic: Can We De-Migranticize Responses?

Janine Dahinden — Tue, 12 May 2020 07:30:59 +0000

The world has been confronted by not only the coronavirus pandemic, but also a surge of national(ist) responses to it. By closing their borders and introducing a travel ban for the Schengen Area, European countries have retreated into national fortresses that nonetheless remain highly unequal internally, prioritizing their own citizens’
