Opening of the Research Center „Migration and Globalization“

To mark the opening of the newly founded research center “Migration and Globalization” at the University of Innsbruck, a presentation of the book “Nach der Migration. Postmigrantische Perspektiven jenseits der Parallelgesellschaft” (eds.: Erol Yildiz / Marc Hill) and a panel discussion on the topic will take place in Künstlerhaus Büchsenhausen.

The newly-established research center “Migration & Globalization” combines competencies from the educational and historical sciences, literature and linguistics, European ethnology and philosophy, political science and sociology, law, and architectural theory. It sees itself as a contact point for scientists working in corresponding fields and others with relevant interests, as well as for society, the media and politics; it functions as a platform for interdisciplinary exchange and cooperation, for the development and realization of research projects; it provides teaching and advanced study courses, advisory services, and also hosts events. In addition, the center will help to network the University of Innsbruck with a number of other national and international research, teaching and archival institutions, as well as NGOs and associations in the field of migration/globalization.
