International conference and inauguration of the Collaborative Research Centre SFB 1604
›Production of Migration: Figures, Infrastructures and Spaces‹
23-25 October 2024, Osnabrück University
The conference ›Production of Migration: Figures, Infrastructures and Spaces‹ inaugurates the new Collaborative Research Centre ›Production of Migration‹ (SFB 1604). Different panels will discuss the Research Centre’s agenda and conceptual approach. The conference will be the starting point for various collaborations within the research community and with the wider public.
The SFB ›Production of Migration‹ is an interdisciplinary consortium funded by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG), that sets out to collectively develop a reflexive theory of the social production of migration over the next twelve years. Launched in April 2024, around 50 researchers from the fields of geography, history, psychology, linguistics, law and social sciences are investigating various forms, facets and consequences of the social negotiation of migration. Comprising 15 projects grouped in three project areas, the SFB is dedicated to explore what it considers to be central ›media‹ in the production of migration: figures, infrastructures and spaces.
The conference is an in-person event and registration is required. Livestreams of the opening event (in German) and the conference sessions (in English) will be available.
Venue: The opening event and the conference will be held in the main building (Castle) of Osnabrück University: Neuer Graben 29, 49074 Osnabrück, Germany: Map, Travelling information.
Registration is now open!
Please register for the conference by 31 August. Please note: Places are limited. We will send out confirmation e-mails from mid-August.
