Berichte aus der Tagung der Österreichischen Gesellschaft für Exilforschung

Thank you to @thediegogarcia.bsky.social, @riekeschroeder.bsky.social, Sophia Zisakou, and Calogero Giametta for organizing a fabulous conference. Check out the programme, and look up these researchers, advocates, and/or practitioners! www.soclaw.lu.se/en/3rd-inter...

The winter term is about to start, and with it our lecture series on "Global Politics, Gender, and (In-)Equality". The lectures will take place on selected Thursdays via Zoom. The series unpacks the complex entanglements of global politics, gender, and (in-)equality in contemporary societies. [1]

We very much look forward to talks given by Ana Larissa Oliveira, @marielreiss.bsky.social, Jasmin Lilian Diab, B Camminga, & Alyosxa Tudor. The series is organized in collaboration by Ulrike Krause & @riekeschroeder.bsky.social (@ifpolms.bsky.social polms.bsky.social) & Inga Nüthen (Uni Kassel).

New open access article out in Gender, Place & Culture: Particularly vulnerable. Negotiating intersections within the ‘Berlin model’ of queer refugee support. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Instead of a panel, this research lab uses story, reflection & dialogue to explore trauma-informed, participatory methods transforming research into healing, resistance & advocacy. Join us to discuss co-created, gender-sensitive research that challenges dominant narrativesand research hierarchies.

As part of #WorldRefugeeDay week, @jasminldiab.bsky.social, @riekeschroeder.bsky.social & I are honored to converse with two #RLO leaders: Claude Samaha (Basmeh & Zeitooneh for Relief and Development) & Gato Ndabaramiye Joshua (Refugee Welfare Foundation). Join us 23 June, 6 PM Beirut time, online!
