@UniKrems We want to contribute to a better understanding of migration and integration with our research and teaching activities.
Join us at the MIrreM final conference: 📆 11 September 2025, 9 am – 2 pm 🌍 Brussels & online ℹ️ bit.ly/3GiuKKG We’ll discuss: How can we measure irregular migration? What are the policy responses to irregular migration? What is the impact of regularisation policies? 🧵
📣 Postdoc vacancy! I am looking for a qualitative postdoc (3 years, 100%) to join my ERC project #RESTATE (Refugees’ Political Participation and State-(Re)Making in Displacement, 85%) and my project #SYREALITY (Syrian Imaginations of Europe meet Reality, 15%).
Very happy that ERC is funding my project RESTATE about how refugees perceive and engage with the state throughout their displacement journeys, and how these perceptions shape their roles as political actors.
NEW today: How engaging with ethical dilemmas can improve public debates and policy- making on migration And why ”myth-busting” is not enough - and sometimes misleading (esp. when the alleged ”myths” relate to issues that involve ethical dilemmas) - bit.ly/4lLEgWr
