The Institute for Research on Migration and Ethnicity and Society (REMESO) invites to the 19th NMR Conference:

New (Im)mobilities, Migration and Race in the Era of Authoritarianism, 16–17 August 2018, in Norrköping, Sweden.

Territorial bounds and sedentary life always constituted the unspoken norm in research on migration and ethnic relations. Today’s multiplication of instruments and policies that prevent people from moving should prompt research to rethink the discipline’s theoretical and methodological frameworks and invent new ways of understanding why the ‘age of migration’ also appears to be an era of emerging authoritarianism and immobility.

Thomas Hylland Eriksen, Professor, Department of Anthropology, Oslo.
