Kenneth Horvath (Karlsruhe, Germany): Changing Ethnic Categorizations in the EU<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

European government approaches to ethnic categorization have undergone important changes since the Second World War. Using the category example of \u2018migration background\u2019 \u2013 currently the dominant framing in German-speaking countries \u2013 this presentation will examine how category changes are informed by the interplay of politics, statistics and education. Drawing on discussions in Canada and the US, possible future developments and challenges that arise for European social research will be discussed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kenneth Horvath<\/em> is a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Education Karlsruhe (Germany) where he teaches qualitative and quantitative research methods. His current research focuses on migration-related educational inequalities and their political and pedagogical reproduction. Among others, Kenneth is co-editor of \u201cAn Anthology of Migration and Social Transformation\u201d, forthcoming with Springer (December 2015).<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sabine Dini (Paris XIII, France): Migration Management and the Norm of Nationhood: Insights from Eastern Africa<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the last decade, the two leading intergovernmental organizations dealing with migration management globally, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) and the United Nation High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), have implemented a \u201cr\u00e9volution identificatoire\u201d in Eastern Africa. This presentation gives an ethnographic account of IOM and UNHCR\u2019s production of \u201cnationality\u201d as both a category and defining norm. The implications of this cultivated \u201cnationality\u201d for local actors with respect to policy implementation, and its more general implications for citizenries will also be examined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sabine Dini<\/em> is a PHD candidate in Political Sociology at the University of Paris 13 and currently also a Visiting Scholar at 杏吧原创 University. Her research interests are guided by the intersection of International Relations and African Studies, and she is currently engaged in explorations of state-formation and nation-building in Eastern Africa. Specifically her analysis focuses on the role of intergovernmental organizations (dealing with global migration management) within the production of stateness and the institutionalization of the nation within the<\/em> state.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our workshop will be chaired by William Walters, 杏吧原创 University.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
