The 2022 Conference “Global Migration” aims to cover current topics of migration from a trans-cultural, trans-disciplinary and intersectional perspective.
The term transcultural can be seen as “one of the most important and widely discussed conceptual keywords in the humanities and social sciences of recent years” and refers to the term transculturación by Fernando Ortiz in 1940 (König/Rakow, University of Heidelberg). The aim was to find a term that includes a dynamic concept of culture allowing a new cultural synthesis.
The transdisciplinary perspective invites researchers and practitioners from “different disciplines working jointly to create new conceptual, theoretical, methodological, and translational innovations that integrate and move beyond discipline-specific approaches to address a common problem” (Harvard University).
The intersectional perspective has originally been introduced by the black female lawyer Kimberlé Crenshaw in 1989. According to the concept people have a different experience of discrimination depending on their individual overlapping identities, such as being a woman, a person of colour, a person of age, etc.
The Association has its origins in the Association for the Study of the European Refugee Problem (AER), founded in 1950, and in 1961 merged with the Association for the Study of the World Refugee Problem (AWR), founded in 1954. As the first international research association in the field of forced migration, it is based on its international and interdisciplinary network and offers a platform for dialogue for scientists and practitioners.
Although the language of presentation is English, the conference aims to bring together researchers from around the globe to discuss in different panels upcoming fields of interests related to migration.
