Guest Lecture – Beyond push and pull: flight and migration as an issue of distribution in the fall of 2015
While Europeans enjoy freedom of movement in the Schengen area and (pre-COVID) can travel to most countries of the world with only a few requirement and often visa-free travel, millions of displaced persons in refugee camps in developing countries eke out their existence. About 40 % of all refugees are housed in camps, in rural areas even around 80 % according to UNHCR (United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees). Based on data from the Displaced Persons in Austria Survey (DiPAS), one of Europe’s first studies on refugee movement in autumn 2015, the presentation will address key dynamics in the field of refugee migration and global border management.
Dr. Judith Kohlenberger is a post-doctoral Researcher in Cultural Studies at the Institute for Social Policy of the Vienna University for Economics and Business (WU).
Guest lecture as part of the interregional UniGR-CBS conference series "Border Realities: Challenges and Perspectives in Uncertain Times" (www.borderrealities.org).
