DeZIM Workshop Series
From 7-8 November 2022, the DeZIM Workshop Series "Authoritarianism and (Im)Mobility: Moving Beyond Exile and Forced Migration" will take place at Humboldt-University of Berlin.
This workshop seeks to move beyond the existing focus on exile and forced migration to display the various paths of (im)mobility in authoritarian settings. Contributions may explore one or more of the following questions:
- What kinds of (im)mobility practices does democratic decline in general, authoritarianism in particular, produce?
- In which authoritarian contexts and under which circumstances mobility appears as a life aspiration?
- What motivations shape (im)mobility decisions in authoritarian settings? What resources make mobility or immobility a viable option?
- What impact, if any, do diaspora communities have on democratization/autocratization processes of origin countries?
Please send a 300-word abstract and short resume to authmob22@gmail.com by May 15, 2022. Notifications of acceptance will be sent out by June 10, 2022. We expect to receive full papers by October 10, 2022. Selected papers will be included in an edited volume or a journal issue.
