CVEK

Medzinárodná konferencia Migrations, rethinking contemporary migration events bola organizovaná s cieľom vytvoriť priestor pre kvalitnú diskusiu o téme migrácie v súčasnom svete. Cieľom konferencie tak bolo zmapovať ako je téma migrácie operacionalizovaná teoreticky i ako je k téme pristupované vo výskumníckej praxi. Ambíciou organizátorov konferencie však bolo najmä poukázať na možnosti sociálnych vied pri de-konštrukcii a falzifikovaní politík a praktík, ktoré sú prítomné v nacionalizovaných právnych normách.

Konferencia bola rozdelená do dvoch častí:

1. Theorizing Migration

This session was focused on theoretical reflections of migration processes and their interpretations. The changes in understanding of what exactly does belong into this realm as well as possible consequences of theoretical thinking about migration policy and migration research were discussed. 

2. Researching Migration

Researching migration is a practical as well as epistemological and political issue. The session posed several research methods in order to articulate the possibilities of different approaches. Special emphasis was put on the vitality of the interdisciplinary approach in studying migration and on demonstrations of innovative research approaches. A reviewed volume of the conference papers is being published in English language.
