Migration, udvikling og statsborgerskab: konference på RUC

Du 23 au 25 mai prochains, l’Université de Roskilde (RUC) organisera un séminaire international intitulé “Migrations, développement et citoyenneté” en partenariat avec l’APAD (Association Pour l’Anthropologie du changement social et du Développement), l’Agence française de développement et l’Université de Copenhague

• entrée libre

The current ‘migration crisis’ demands a critical engagement and rethinking of the migration-development-citizenship nexus. Human mobility and migration within and between societies have shaped the world for centuries. States have devised various means to organize and control human mobility by allowing or restraining migrants’ rights and access to resources and services.
The increased policing and tightening of African, European and American borders, represent the confluence of security, development and citizenship. Yet, restrictive policies do not prevent migration; it only redirects it. Prohibitive measures alter the ways in which migrants or refugees adapt, how they find niches in host societies, retain relations to their families at ‘home’; all affecting their sense of belonging and identity.
The conference focuses on the relation between migration and development as well as aid and humanitarian intervention and their connections to citizenship and social change. We wish to shed light on how these new patterns of migration produce new practices and conceptions of citizenship, what this means for migrant groups and host communities, and how it impacts public policies in origin, host and transit countries.

Créée en 1991, l’APAD a pour but de promouvoir les échanges scientifiques et le dialogue entre les chercheurs en anthropologie et sciences sociales, les acteurs du développement et le monde politique, autour des problématiques du changement social et du développement, en Afrique et ailleurs.
