If everyone agrees that business as usual is no longer acceptable, why is progress so slow?

	Digitized Migrants	Thu, 15.09.2022 - Fri, 16.09.2022	Conferences and Workshops	Giorgia Donà Ranabir Samaddar Ayşe ÇağlarAhmet İçudygu	Digitized Migrants Thu, 15.09.2022 - Fri, 16.09.2022 Speakers: Giorgia Donà Ranabir Samaddar Ayşe ÇağlarAhmet İçudygu Series: Conferences and Workshops The two Global Compacts on migration have advocated the increased use of digital technologies to enhance the protection, welfare, and development of refugees and migrants. The use of new technologies of surveillance that identify, track, and control the people crossing borders result in the increasing digitalization of borders, migrants, and their management. Biometrics and automated decision-making tools, as well as the surveillance of social media have increasingly become central to migration management technologies. These border security technologies are not simply technological improvement of existing forms of border control or governance. The militarization and computerization of borders raise important questions about the politics of data, data subjects, biopolitics, (scales of) sovereignty, regulation, and different forms of sovereign, regulatory, and disciplinary power. We are yet to fully grasp the social implications of this new regime of automated truth registration. Does it create new inequalities and/or reinforce old ones? Is it only a tool of oppression, appropriation and exclusion, or does it offer any opportunity for emancipation? How can we think about agency and solidarity in a digital word? Read more

	Ukrainian War, Refugees, and Human Rights in a Global Context	Wed, 06.07.2022	Panels and Discussions	Giorgia Donà Ranabir Samaddar Randall Hansen Ayşe ÇağlarAlex Aleinikoff, Grażyna Baranowska, Olena Fedyuk	Ukrainian War, Refugees, and Human Rights in a Global Context Wed, 06.07.2022 Speakers: Giorgia Donà Ranabir Samaddar Randall Hansen Ayşe ÇağlarAlex Aleinikoff, Grażyna Baranowska, Olena Fedyuk Series: Panels and Discussions The Ukrainian war unleashed unprecedented displacements in Europe, unseen since WWII. Most of the borders in Europe and throughout the world were opened to Ukrainians - in contrast to the restrictive border regimes many recent refugee movements to Europe, such as the Syrian or Afghani refugees fleeing war, were subject to. A series of schemes were developed to welcome Ukrainian refugees and emplace them into the labor markets and educational systems of their host countries. Instead of approaching the current Ukrainian refugee movement as unique and singular, this panel aimed to situate its dynamics within a broader context of refugee movements in Europe and beyond. It further placed it in conversation with the historical, political, and social contexts that cause such movements in the first place and seeks to explore it in relation to and together with other refugee movements globally.
