Abstract
In December 2019, the NIOD Institute for War, Holocaust, and Genocide Studies organised a conference in collaboration with IMIS University of Osnabrück: ‘Negotiating Displacement: New Perspectives and Connections in War, Migration and Refugee Studies’.
The conference aimed at connecting research on war, mass violence and genocide with migration studies in order to deepen the dialogue between two disciplines that often look at similar phenomena but from different viewpoints. The conference’s guiding question was how displacement has been negotiated with regard to trajectories and status by individuals and groups from the First World War to the present in a global perspective.
Scholars, journalists and migrants discussed displaced person’s agency, room for maneuver and possibilities for creating their own social and cultural spaces within the limited and often harsh social, economic and political parameters. How can we understand the dynamics surrounding these processes?
In this podcast: Anne Irfan, Avi Sharma, Christoph Rass, Eugene Michail, Ismee Tames.
