Description
This roundtable will bring together academics and practitioners in order to foster a critical exploration of key concepts relating to forced migration: welcome, membership and inclusion, protection, sanctuary, solidarity, hospitality and trauma. In the spirit of theorizing practice and practicing theory, the roundtable will provide for discussion of the politics, practice and pedagogy of these key concepts within institutions including the United Nations, states, local government authorities, communities and universities. Specific practices to be discussed include:
• Global Migration Governance
• State Securitisation Practices
• City of Sanctuary
• University of Sanctuary
• Trauma Informed Pedagogy
Drawing on a variety of cases and experiences at different levels of engagement, the roundtable will consider the limitations and potential these concepts provide and explore the relationship between global discourses on forced migration and local practices that often traverse them.
