Over 40 participants followed Dr. Mert Pekşen’s lecture on the lives of refugees in Turkish satellite cities, both on-site and online – offering a powerful look at hope, restrictions, and efforts to shape the future under precarious conditions.

This open access book brings together cutting-edge work on reflexive approaches within migration studies and emphasizes the boundedness and political character of knowledge production (eds. Janine Dahinden & Andreas Pott).

The Spring School in April 2026 provides a space for PhD researchers to engage critically with the concept of migration – examining how it is produced through cultural, political, social, and historical processes, including the role of research itself.

We are looking forward to discussing the production of migration and various approaches to reflexive migration research with inspiring guests: Andrea Bührmann, Thomas Nail, Maurice Crul/Frans Lelie, Helge Schwiertz, Christina Boswell & Fabrice Langrognet.
