RESPOND Conference 2020 – Challenges and Priorities in Reception and Integration

by Ivan Josipovic | Austrian Academy of Sciences

The reception of asylum seekers and their integration have been hotly debated topics in European Member States since the Long Summer of Migration in 2015. On day two of the RESPOND Conference 2020 (November 21st) we held an online session on the reception and integration regimes in Austria, Germany Sweden, and the United Kingdom.

When emancipatory integration does not work

GUEST POST

by Sara Forcella | University of Rome

Following the closure of ports to migrants’ rescue ships and the reduction of search and rescue sea operations last summer, the number of migrants disembarking on the Italian coasts has sharply dropped. In 2019, only 11.471 migrants have reached Italy crossing the Mediterranean in a boat, a very small number compared to 2018 (23.253) and 2017 (118.935). However, despite the decrease in sea arrivals, migrants within the reception system are still many (91.424). Over the past year and a half, policies that regulate migrants’ reception have also undergone major changes.

Turkish Migration Stories Then and Now: Connecting the German-Turkish and Syrian-Turkish Experience

by Susan Beth Rottmann, Özyeğin University

While researching Syrian migration between Turkey and Europe for RESPOND, it has rapidly become clear to me that the questions of how to host and integrate Syrians, which Turkey is now confronting, must be understood within the broader context of Turkish citizens’ understanding of their European-ness, which I explore in detail in my new book, In Pursuit of Belonging: Forging an Ethical Life in European-Turkish Spaces (2019).

Wisdom From The Method Pub

by Susan Rottmann, Özyeğin University | Soner Önder Barthoma, Uppsala University

During our recent conference (17-19 October 2019, Cambridge), we organized the first ever "Method Pub" a social activity and joint discussion on the topic of "Research Methods for Migration Studies." Taking inspiration from the fact that Crick and Watson announced their discovery of the DNA double helix at a Cambridge pub, the event was held at a local pub on the second evening of the conference. It was open to all conference attendees regardless of background and experience and involved four small group discussions on some of the most pressing methodological issues or challenges that migration researchers face.
