SFB 1604 Production of Migration
Welcome to the Collaborative Research Centre ›Production of Migration‹!
The Collaborative Research Centre ›Production of Migration‹ (SFB 1604) conducts theory-based, post-disciplinary and reflexive research on migration. It investigates how migration is practiced, processed and given meaning at different times and in different contexts.
15 research projects are allocated to the three production media: figures, infrastructures and spaces. The SFB also includes an Integrated Research Training Group and the Reflexivity Lab. The Transfer Project applies and tests the perspectives and findings of the Collaborative Research Centre in practice together with a migration museum.
The research centre is hosted by Osnabrück University, partner institutions in the joint project are the University of Münster, the Goethe University Frankfurt, the Europa-Universität Flensburg, TU Dortmund University, Kiel University, and FU Berlin in cooperation with the Leibniz Centre for Contemporary History Research Potsdam.
