This conference focuses on the economisation of migration, difference, diversity and belonging. The conference aims to critically examine the particular chain of meaning that characterises the elite imagination: the knowledge-based economy reconceptualises migration and belonging in economic terms, privileging issues of labour migration and economic belonging. This has been translated into an emerging convergence across Europe around policies of managed migration structured by high and low skill routes into labour markets. This high/low skill binary is radicalised, gendered and classed with women and poor people of colour directed into the low pay, insecure and most exploitative sectors of European economies. This is related to the re-emergence of assimilationist policies across Europe. Allied to this is in an ongoing experience of forced migration either in terms of sex slavery or undocumented labour. Die Teilnahmegebühren betragen 30- 130 Euro. Weitere Informationen bezüglich der Teilnahmegebühr und des Veranstaltungsprogramms sind der Homepage der Veranstaltung zu entnehmen. Anmeldeschluss ist der 18.02.2012.
