Didier Ruedin — Wed, 20 Nov 2024 08:30:06 +0000

Discrimination is difficult to notice, as it often takes place in everyday situations, such as during job applications or apartment searches.

Care at the Intersection of Mobility and Gender/Sexuality Regimes: Past Legacies

Janine Dahinden — Thu, 23 Nov 2023 10:17:37 +0000

Following the COVID-19 pandemic, problematic past legacies emerged from the intersection of mobility and gender/sexuality regimes. By diving into these continuities, I examine two compelling case studies – domestic caregivers and sex workers. These cases allow me to study how a global, but also a national, crisis of care emerged

Meriam Mastour — Wed, 14 Jun 2023 08:09:05 +0000

Une étude du Forum suisse pour l’étude des migrations et de la population (SFM) démontre qu’il existe en Suisse un racisme structurel (systémique). L’étude définit le racisme structurel comme un système social qui reproduit des inégalités.

Strukturellen Rassismus sichtbar machen

Gina Vega — Wed, 07 Jun 2023 07:30:25 +0000

Die Beratungsstellen für Rassismusopfer sind mit vielfältigen Diskriminierungsvorfällen konfrontiert, welche in historisch gewachsene gesellschaftliche Strukturen eingebettet sind und Ungleichheiten legitimieren und reproduzieren. Diese manifestieren sich in ideologischen Einstellungen und oft unbewussten Haltungen sowie institutionalisierten Ausschlussmechanismen, die Menschen auf verschiedenste Weise benachteiligen. Rassismus ist ein mehrdimensionales Konstrukt, das sich systematisch und

Race, Rootedness and the Geographies of Sanctuary During the Pandemic

Eloise Thompson — Wed, 08 Feb 2023 09:41:14 +0000

During a crisis, like the COVID-19 pandemic, there seems to be an instinctive turn towards sanctuary and roots. In 2020, repatriation flights and exceptions from travel restrictions allowed particular categories of travelers to return home. But our ideas about sanctuary are also restrictive, implicitly leaning on often racialized assumptions about

From Objects to Subjects: Expanding Reflexivity in Migration Studies

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. Much less attention has been paid to the subjects doing the research and the mechanisms that prevent the perspectives of scholars with their own ‘migranticization’ experiences to be adequately represented in knowledge

Multicultural Citizenship 25 Years On

Esma Baycan — Wed, 16 Mar 2022 08:30:34 +0000

It is at best inconvenient to talk about multicultural citizenship in France; the country`s official republican conception of citizenship considers its citizens without cultural, ethnic, racial and religious differences. Despite this, Paris warmly welcomed at least three generations of scholars from all around the world working on multiculturalism at a

Pranav Kuttaiah — Tue, 22 Feb 2022 08:30:38 +0000

Alors que les discours sur la migration se concentrent souvent sur les frontières internationales et les réfugié·e·s, la première vague de la pandémie de COVID-19 a mis en lumière la migration interne. C’est ce qui s’est passé en Inde, où le statut en matière de logement et d’emploi, la caste,

COVID-19 and Internal Migration: Lessons from India

Pranav Kuttaiah — Tue, 15 Feb 2022 08:30:40 +0000

While the discourse on migration often focuses mainly on international borders and refugees, the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic brought internal migration to the fore. Such was the case in India where housing and employment status, caste, religion, gender and ethnicity seemed to dictate how city residents chose to
