 15/9  A Modern Migration Theory
Peo Hansen, Professor, REMESO, LiU

Today both researchers and policy-makers agree that refugees admitted to the European Union constitute a net cost and fiscal burden for the receiving societies. In this lecture, Peo Hansen shows that this consensual cost-perspective on migration is built on a flawed economic conception of the orthodox “sound finance” doctrine. By shifting perspective to examine migration through the macroeconomic lens offered by Modern Monetary Theory, Hansen is able to demonstrate sound finance’s detrimental impact on migration policy and research. Most importantly, this undertaking offers the tools with which both migration research and migration policy could be modernized and put on a realistic footing.

Karin Krifors, Assistant professor, REMESO, LiU

Presentation of research results from an ethnographic study of migrant solidarity movements in Swedish small towns. The results highlight how refugee reception and ambitions of ‘welcoming’ local communities form specific types of multiculturalism in non-metropolitan places, and discusses how Paul Gilroy’s concept of conviviality can link this multiculturalism to a politics of hope with antiracist potential.
