	Grounding a ‘Geopolitical Europe’	Mon, 03.04.2023	Seminars and Colloquia	Ayşe Çağlar Luiza Bialasiewicz Misha Glenny	Grounding a ‘Geopolitical Europe’ Mon, 03.04.2023 Speakers: Ayşe Çağlar Luiza Bialasiewicz Misha Glenny Series: Seminars and Colloquia Examining a number of different European national contexts, Luiza Bialasiewicz argued in this talk that without a grounded and democratic geopolitics, other geopolitical stories will inevitably rush in to fill the void to help EU citizens make sense of the vertigo of the current moment. Such geopolitical stories include the conspiratorial geopolitical imaginations fed by extremist parties and movements, but not solely. They also increasingly manifest themselves across a range of issue areas and spaces: most visibly in urban contexts, where they have begun to frame various forms of contestation, including protests against refugee reception.

	Digitized Migrants	Thu, 15.09.2022 - Fri, 16.09.2022	Conferences and Workshops	Giorgia Donà Ranabir Samaddar Ayşe ÇağlarAhmet İçudygu	Digitized Migrants Thu, 15.09.2022 - Fri, 16.09.2022 Speakers: Giorgia Donà Ranabir Samaddar Ayşe ÇağlarAhmet İçudygu Series: Conferences and Workshops The two Global Compacts on migration have advocated the increased use of digital technologies to enhance the protection, welfare, and development of refugees and migrants. The use of new technologies of surveillance that identify, track, and control the people crossing borders result in the increasing digitalization of borders, migrants, and their management. Biometrics and automated decision-making tools, as well as the surveillance of social media have increasingly become central to migration management technologies. These border security technologies are not simply technological improvement of existing forms of border control or governance. The militarization and computerization of borders raise important questions about the politics of data, data subjects, biopolitics, (scales of) sovereignty, regulation, and different forms of sovereign, regulatory, and disciplinary power. We are yet to fully grasp the social implications of this new regime of automated truth registration. Does it create new inequalities and/or reinforce old ones? Is it only a tool of oppression, appropriation and exclusion, or does it offer any opportunity for emancipation? How can we think about agency and solidarity in a digital word? Read more
