We invite doctoral and early career researchers as well as artists working on questions of vulnerability and resilience in the context of migrant and refugee lives in the MENA, Turkey, and Southeastern Europe to submit a working title, abstract (max. 300 words), and short biography (max. 200 words) via email to vulnerability.migration.workshop@gmail.com before March 27, 2023.

The conference aims to move beyond a binary conceptualization of vulnerability and resilience by discussing how vulnerability, agency, and resilience are interrelated or co-produced by multiple factors, actors, practices, policies, and laws.

Keynote speech by Prof. Didier Fassin (Collège de France, Institute for Advanced Study (Princeton) and École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales, Paris) ‘Neither Vulnerability, Nor Resilience: A Critical Approach to Exiles’ Experiences’.
