Migration, Logistics and Unequal Citizens in Contemporary Global Context

2021-07-30 - 2021-07-31

Rapidly increasing international migrations have radically changed the outlook of contemporary 21st-century societies, producing cases of massive displaced and precarious lives, and bring various impacts upon local communities. These emerging phenomena have attracted critical scholarship both in the humanities and social sciences in recent years.
The 2020 Global Humanities Institute (GHI) “Migration, Logistics and Unequal Citizens in Contemporary Global Context” is organised by the International Center for Cultural Studies (ICCS), National Chiao Tung University (NCTU), Taiwan, in cooperation with the Institute for Culture and Society (Western Sydney University, Australia), Institute for Population and Social Research, Mahidol Migration Center (Mahidol University, Thailand), Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences (University of Malaya, Malaysia), Institute of Philosophy and Sociology (Polish Academy of Sciences, Poland) and the Group for Inquiries and Social Theory (Ton Duc Thang University, Vietnam); it is sponsored by the Consortium of Humanities Centers and Institutes (CHCI) and the Mellon Foundation.

Taking place in July 2021, a 7-day online GHI summer institute will form a platform for interdisciplinary collaboration for people studying or working on issues related to migration, logistics, and unequal citizens in the global context. More than 60 invited scholars, representatives of NGOs, and admitted junior researchers from different regions and disciplines will connect and share their ongoing projects on the issues of migrations, logistics, and unequal citizens.  (More information in https://ghi2020.web.nctu.edu.tw/ ).
