Looking forward to the Roundtable starting now on #Philippine #migration to the Gulf - and beyond #labor at the University of the #Philippines, College of Social Sciences and Philosophy

Since this has been hardly communicated so far: The 15th Global Forum on #Migration and #Development #GFMD Summit has been moved forward on rather short notice and will now take place from 9 to 13 June, with Preparatory Days on 9 and 10 June in Barranquilla, #Colombia.

Starting now: Two days of - virtual - thematic dialogues for the Colombian #GFMD scheduled for the second half of 2025 - there still has been no specific date announced. Today's focus is on ##women & #development, children & youth, #media & culture

I am absolutely bewildered that the coordinator of the UN Migration Network manages to write an article about a "broken global system" & when presenting solutions completely ignores the Global Compacts on #Migrants and #Refugees - and even the Network which she is coordinator of.

Looking forward to my presentation and discussions today in Bielefeld (and online - Zoom link in the poster) on "Global #Migration and #Refugee Governance from Below: A Comparative Perspective" at the Institute for World Society Studies #GCM #RefugeeForum #RefugeeVoices

Ich freue mich, heute an der Akademie der Älteren Generation in Freiburg über "Migration und Flucht als Herausforderung der Politik" zu sprechen - und konstruktiv zu diskutieren

Ich freue mich auf anregende Diskussionen bei meiner morgigen Semesterauftakt-Vorlesung an der @politikuhh.bsky.social zum Thema "Soziale Bewegungen in einer hybriden Welt; "Zoomification", Online-Aktivismus und die Globale #Governance von #Migration"

On my way to #dvpw2024 congress - looking forward to many inspiring exchanges ! Our Arbeitskreis #Migrationspolitik will hold its membership meeting on Friday, sandwiched by 2 great panels on "#Migration Policies in Polycrisis: #Climate Change, Pandemic, War and Forced Migration"

Out now: My assessment of the 2023 second Global Refugee Forum #GRF & the 2024 #GFMD14 including reflections on meaningful participation of #migrant and #refugee self-organizations such as #CSGFMD14 & Global Refugee-led Network (GRN). Published in the German (language) Review of the UN

Final day of #ISA2024 - come join our panel "Ethnographic approaches to the study of international relationalities". I will present on "Capturing the effect of “Zoomification” on the deliberations in global #migration governance: The contribution of “virtual” ethnographic approaches"

Gerade entdeckt: Fundierte Sammelrezension von Catharina Peeck-Ho zu methodologischem Nationalismus in der Migrationsforschung, unter Einbeziehung meiner Monographie "Global #migration governance from below: Actors, Spaces, Discourses" www.degruyter.com/document/doi...

Evidenzbasierte Politik sieht anders aus.: Seit @c_lindner im vergangenen Oktober unvermittelt Geldtransfer von #Geflüchteten thematisiert hat, frage ich mich, auf welche Datengrundlage er sich bezieht. Antwort: Es gibt gar keine... #bezahlkarte #FDP www.spiegel.de/wirtschaft/s...

Here is an overview and some background on the Global Forum on Migration and Development #GFMD14 taking place this week in Geneva #GFMD gfmd2010.wordpress.com/2024/01/22/b...

Good morning, #Geneva ! Filling up on coffee before a busy week at and around the #GFMD14 ! In the past 17 years, the focus of the Forum has significantly expanded beyond the core theme of #migration and #development including issues such as #rights #gender #youth #climatechange & more #GFMD

@FilippoGrandi confirms “rumors that there is now a marriage between #IOM and #UNHCR - there is a firm conviction to live together not only in peace & harmony but productively” at panel with @AmyEPope on complementarity between the global compacts on #migrants & #refugees at global #RefugeeForum

Applause even in the overflow room as @FilippoGrandi calls for an immediate and sustained humanitarian #CEASEFIRE_NOW AND the release of hostages at the Global #RefugeeForum #RefugeeVoices #Palestine #HostageRelease

"We are all, always reaching for a place that we can call home." Cate #Blanchett & Ke Huy Quan opening speech @ #GRF23 The agreed hashtag seems to be #RefugeeForum so this is what I will mainly use, no more #GRF etc. but certainly still #RefugeeVoices & #nothingaboutuswithoutus
