IMISCOE Spring Conference (organized by AMIS)
Measures of Control: Managing Migration in the 21. Century
Centre for Advanced Migration Studies (AMIS) and IMISCOE jointly organize a conference on controlling migration, University of Copenhagen, 18-19 February 2016.
Keynote lectures: Adrian Favell (University of Leeds) and Sarah Fine (King’s College London). Both lectures are open to the public (no registration required).
In response to increasing and new patterns of migration, policies of control are increasingly proposed and implemented in Europe and elsewhere. This includes efforts to control numbers of immigrants and in particular the composition of the immigrant group, but also efforts to impact the political, social and cultural integration of immigrants once they have arrived in destination societies. This conference theorizes control, including its forms, manifestations and limits.
