The Viadrina University Frankfurt invites interested students, PhD candidates, NGO-activists and artists to apply for the Summer School Viadrinicum, taking place 17.- 30. August 2020. What happens after migration, where does it start and when does it end? These are the questions that will be discussed during the summer school. Applications are welcome until 6 July

Viadrinicum is an annual summer school devoted to the countries of the Eastern Partnership, and the larger context of Central and Eastern Europe. This year‘s edition is designed as a digital transsectoral lab on (post-)migration, aiming to tackle the notion of (post-)migrant society from multiple theoretical and methodological angles. With the help of online academic seminars the school will allow its participants to deepen theoretical insights into the topics of (post-)migration, convivial diversity and multilocal belonging.

The following talks will be part of the programme:

  • Prof. Dr. Kira Kosnick / Dr. Darja Klingenberg (Frankfurt/Oder), Who Needs Migration Research? Methodological Critique and Research Strategies
  • Dr. Tsypylma Darieva (Berlin), Post-Migrant City between Cultural Difference and Cosmopolitan Sociability
  • Dr. Anne Holper (Frankfurt/Oder), Conflict Mediation in the Context of Diversity
  • Peggy Piesche (Berlin), Doing Diversity
  • Case studies of migration-related civic and cultural initiatives from Kyiv, Wrocław, Chișinău, Moscow, Berlin

Besides that, the participants will be able to enhance their practical and methodological skills in the framework of several project-oriented workshops, organised in the respective countries of their residence with the help of local partners.
