Huge congratulations to the amazing Amanda Haarman who successfully defended her PhD on return migration and change-making in Accra's creative industry last Thursday at CBS! 👏 A lot of well-deserved happiness afterwards! It's been such a pleasure to be co-supervisor and I've learnt a lot! @diis.dk

Ny kommentar om diasporanødhjælp og samarbejde med det internationale humanitære system. Jeg sætter fokus på dilemmaer om bureaukrati vs. tillid, bankregulering og upartiskhed. Spoiler: samarbejde kræver kompromiser, og kommunikation kommer før koordination. @altingetdk.bsky.social; @diis.dk

I et land som Somalia er diasporagrupper kendt for hurtig og massiv mobilisering i forbindelse med tørke og oversvømmelser. Og i Ukraine har diasporanetværk mobiliseret store beløb og ressourcer efter Ruslands invasion i 2022. Læs analyse af @naujakleist.bsky.social 👇 www.diis.dk/publikatione...

Climate change causes migration, the saying goes. Well, it's not that simple. In a new @brisunipress.bsky.social book on climate change, mobility, adaptation and governance, we examine how these - sometimes quite complicated - links play out in Ghana and Ethiopia. Open access! @diis.dk

Communities worldwide face new challenges due to climate change, altering the lives of young people at the crossroads of forced immobility or new forms of movement. Learn more about how Ethiopian youth navigate and respond to such environmental crises at this @diis.dk seminar w. excellent speakers.

Jeg har skrevet science fiction! AKA ny kommentar i @altingetdk.bsky.social med tre fremtidsscenarier om afrikansk migration og klimaforandringer. For hvad kan man egentlig forestille sig, når man zoomer ud, geografisk og et godt stykke ud i fremtiden? @diis.dk
