DESCRIPTION:POLIS\, in collaboration with the Von Hügel Institute and the
  Cambridge Migration Research Network\, cordially invites you to a two-day
  workshop European Migration and Refugee Crisis: Contested Politics of Soc
 ial Integration and Identity on Thu 23rd June 3.45pm to 6.30pm\, and Fri 2
 4th June 9am to 5.30pm.\n\nThe workshop will discuss refugee and migration
  politics with focus on identity\, politics\, religion\, nation\, racism\,
  political attitudes and gender in the framework of European national poli
 cies. The workshop starts from the assumption that the worldwide refugee c
 risis signifies a historical watershed\; it concerns European identity and
  politics in a new way. The EU member countries are divided by disagreemen
 t upon migration and refugee politics\, whether in political\, economic\, 
 social or moral terms. This raises the question of how the recent developm
 ents\, debates and reactions in Europe can be understood. The aim of the w
 orkshop is to carve out key characteristic and conditions of this problem\
 , and to identify central areas of necessary research with regard to the p
 olitics of integration and identity. The programme also features discussio
 n about the links between the UK referendum on EU membership and migration
  issues and refugee crisis.\n\nThe workshop is open to the public. However
 \, as places are limited for Friday\, registration is necessary. Please co
 nfirm your attendance with Vlado Kmec vk287@cam.ac.uk by June 16. [For Fri
 day only\; no registration required for Thursday].\n\nThe workshop is supp
 orted by the DAAD Cambridge Research Hub with funds from the German Federa
 l Foreign Office (FFO).\n
