Philosophies of Migration: European Policies
A 3 day Ph.D.Course in Political Philosophy at CESEM
Centre for the Study of Equality and Multiculturalism (CESEM) invites
PhD students to attend a course on Philosophies of Migration: European
Policies, to be held 26-28 September 2011 at CESEM, University of
Copenhagen.
As the emigration following the recent developments in North Africa has
illustrated, European efforts to manage and control migration flows have
come to occupy a contested position in the European public debate. The
re-territorialisation of Europe and its neighbouring regions through
non-arrival measures such as visa policies, carrier sanctions,
readmission agreements, Frontex-operations and deportations of asylum
seekers through the Dublin system has brought to the foreground a number
of substantial normative and political issues. Philosophies of
Migration: European Policies positions these and other issues in
relation to debates concerning the legitimacy of border control, migrant
rights to exit and enter countries, communal rights to exclude migrants,
the scope of universal freedom as well as national and global
responsibility for migrants and European populations. Featuring keynote
speeches from internationally renowned capacities such as Matthew Gibney
(University of Oxford), Jonathan Seglow (University of London) and
Christopher Bertram (University of Bristol), and academic supervision by
Sune Lęgaard (University of Roskilde) and Nils Holtug (University of
Copenhagen), the course offers a unique opportunity for Ph.D. students
to engage in the normative and political issues arising in connection
with European border and migration policies, as well as migration issues
more generally.
Keynote-papers as well as classical texts on migration and morality will
be circulated before the course begins. Participants are encouraged to
send papers, which will be responded to by designated opponents as well
as CESEM academic staff. Participants will receive 2,3 ECTS-points for
attending the course and 3,8 ECTS-points if they also give a paper.
Philosophies of Migration: European Policies is open for a limited
amount of participants who can attend free of charge. Participants must,
however, cover expenses related to travel and accommodation themselves.
Registration must be done to Amalie Frese at [log in to unmask] before
August 25th 2011.
