Online Seminar
Refugee Sponsorship: Will Civil Society Keep Stepping Up?

For more than 40 years, groups of Canadians have raised funds and offered their time to support over 325,000 refugee newcomers through the Private Sponsorship of Refugees Program (PSRP). In 2020, planned numbers for private refugee sponsorship (20,000) in Canada were double the number of government-assisted refugees to be resettled. Based on an original qualitative study, this paper probes how voluntary sponsorship – as a kind of civil society mobilisation – has been sustained over decades. Refugee newcomers who land in Canada as permanent residents become part of the communities and society in which they stay. Many have left family members behind in refugee camps and sanctuary cities without permanent status, and so become sponsors themselves with a view to reuniting in Canada. This phenomenon of ‘family-linked’ sponsorship is a unique, defining and sustaining feature of the program by motivating family members in Canada to team up with experienced sponsors to ‘do more’. Our data show that sponsorship is a community practice that occurs across scales – linking local sites in Canada to countries where human atrocities are common and neighbouring states that host those who flee. Sponsorship connects people in various communities across the world, and these transnational links are important to understanding the sustainability of sponsorship over time in Canada.

Seminar Series on Forced Migration
The Seminar Series on Forced Migration, hosted at the Department of Social and Cultural Anthropology at the University of Vienna, is part of the Europe-Asia Research Platform on Forced Migration at the 'Institut für die Wissenschaften vom Menschen' (IWM) and the Mahanirban Calcutta Research Group (CRG). The next online lecture takes place on Wednesday, November 11th at 5pm (CET) and is held by Prof. Giorgia Dona (Centre for Migration, Refugees and Belonging, University of East London, UK)
Title & Abstract:
Migration, borders and technologies - an introduction to techno-borderscapes
In this presentation, I discuss the relationship among migration, borders and technologies by examining the role of mobile digital devices in the everyday lives of migrants in transit and their encounters with state agents, humanitarian actors and activists at the border. The concept techno-borderscapes is introduced to rethink transit zones as sites of embodied and virtual interactions that highlight the connections among digital securitisation, humanitarianism and activism. Confronted with increased border securitisation, migrants use mobile technologies to bypass borders, create new forms of migrant-to-migrant protection and assistance, and articulate their political voice. Border spaces are not just ‘in-between’ zones along a unidirectional migratory trajectory but rather transformative and transforming techno-borderscapes.

Lecture
Hanna Kienzler: The Politics of Mental Health System Reform in Contexts of Humanitarian Emergencies. Toward a Theory of 'Practice-Based Evidence'
Lecturer: Hanna Kienzler (King's College London)
Moderation: Barbara Prainsack (IPW | University of Vienna)
When: Wednesday, 5 June 2019, 17:00
Where: Konferenzraum IPW, NIG 2nd floor, Universitätstrasse 7, 1010 Vienna
Abstract:
Humanitarian emergencies such as armed conflicts are increasingly perceived as opportunities to improve mental health systems in fragile states. Research has been conducted into what building blocks are required to reform mental health systems in states emerging from wars and into the barriers to reform. What is less well known is what work and activities are actually performed when mental health systems in war-affected resource-poor countries are reformed. Questions that remain unanswered are: What is it that international humanitarian aid workers and local experts do on the ground? What are the actual activities they perform in order to enable and sustain system reform? This talk begins to answer these questions through ethnographic case studies of mental health system reform in Kosovo and Palestine. Based on the findings, a theory of “practice-based evidence” is developed. Practice-based evidence assumes that knowledge is derived from practice, rather than the other way around where practice is believed to be informed by systematic evidence. It is argued that a focus on practice rather than evidence can improve system reform processes as well as the provision of mental health care in a way that is sensitive to local contexts, structural realities, culture, and history.

“Stealing a Nation” - a documentary by John Pilger (2004, 56 min)
28 March 2019, 4:30pm
ISA Meeting Room
Hollandstrasse 11-13, 2nd floor
On February 25th the International Court of Justice in The Hague has issued an unprecedented legal ruling and (non-binding) judgement saying that Britain's colonial authority over the Chagos Islands is no longer legal. This brings new hope to exiled islanders.
Between the 1960s and 1970s, the British Government expelled the entire population of the coral archipelago, a British crown colony in the Indian Ocean, to make way for a US American military base. The largest island, Diego Garcia (rented to this day by the UK to US military authorities) thereby became the United States' biggest base outside US territory, with more than 2,000 troops, two bomber runways, 30 warships, facilities for nuclear-armed submarines and a satellite spy station. Iraq and Afghanistan to an extent were bombed from this base.
In light of these recent developments in The Hague, possibly of tremendous geopolitical impact, ISA’s regional group “Southeast Asia and Islands in the Indian Ocean” (SEAINDO) cordially invites you to watch and discuss John Pilger’s documentary “Stealing a Nation” (2004, 56 Min). The movie reports on the plight of the about 2000 Chagossians, the political conspiracy of their brutal removal from the islands and on their continuing fight for the right to return.

Women's solidarity during war: The rehabilitation and reintegration of women after slavery
27.05.2017 University of Vienna This conference is held in the memory of Sinjar Massacre. In August 2014, the Islamic State staged a brutal attack killing scores of Yazidi men and kidnapping and enslaving a large number of Yazidi women and girls. A general understanding of the nature of attacks on women and girls who face enslavement, trafficking and sexual abuse is necessary. However, we should strive to go beyond generalization and statistics and shed better lights on the events that occurred. This conference aims to expand on the general narratives and explores various aspects of the conflict in relation to women’s role and status, with a number of experts reflecting on the topics from various disciplines and key areas. Einladung zur Vorstellung der Projektergebnisse der neuen internationalen Studie von Asyl in Not
„Kriminalisierung von Flucht und Fluchthilfe“ Am 18. Mai 2017 um 14:30 Uhr Im Depot – Raum für Kunst und Diskussion, Breite Gasse 3, 1070 Wien Es sprechen: Michael Genner (Asyl in Not) Dr. Gabriele Anderl, Historikerin Dr. Monika Mokre, Politikwissenschaftlerin Spätestens seit den großen Schiffsunglücken im April 2015 mit mehr als 900 Ertrunkenen, ist die Bekämpfung der „Fluchthilfe-Schlepperei“ zu einem zentralen Thema der EU-Migrationspolitik geworden. Neben der militärischen Bekämpfung durch die Operation EUNAVFOR Med (später Sophia genannt) findet aber schon seit langem eine Verfolgung und Kriminalisierung von Menschen auf der Flucht und denen, die ihnen die Überwindung der Grenzen ermöglichen, statt. Letztere werden äußerst vereinfacht und pauschal als skrupellos und ausschließlich profitorientiert, denen Menschenrechte nichts gelten, an den medialen Pranger gestellt. Seit einigen Monaten unterstellen Frontex und italienische Staatsanwaltschaften sogar den privaten Seenotrettungsorganisationen Kontakte mit libyschen „Schleppern“. Sie diskreditieren und kriminalisieren diese NGO´s in der Öffentlichkeit, um sich der lästigen Augenzeugen auf See zu entledigen und den Ankünften Einhalt zu gebieten. Um dem Wahrheitsgehalt und der Realität des sehr breiten Spektrums von Fluchthilfe bis Schlepperei auf den Grund zu gehen, haben Organisationen aus Deutschland (borderline-europe), Griechenland (Diktio), Italien (Borderline Sicilia) und Österreich (Asyl in Not) in den vergangenen anderthalb Jahren gemeinsam diesen Ausschnitt der EU-Migrationspolitik untersucht: Angefangen von den zugrunde liegenden internationalen Vereinbarungen, deren bedingte Übernahme in EU-Richtlinien wie das Facilitators Package, und letztendlich in die jeweilige nationale Gesetzgebung. Parallel dazu sind in den vier Ländern Gerichtsverfahren beobachtet und begleitet worden, sowie zivilgesellschaftliche Aktivitäten, die sich gegen die Stigmatisierung von „Fluchthelfern“ richten, zusammen¬getragen worden. Die in der vorliegenden Dokumentation zusammengefassten Erkenntnisse und Bewertungen werden am 18. Mai 2017 in Berlin, Palermo und Wien parallel vorgestellt. Ermöglicht wurde dieses transnationale Recherche- und Veranstaltungsprojekt durch die Unterstützung aus dem EU-Programm „Europa für Bürgerinnen und Bürger“. Wir freuen uns auf Ihr Kommen.

On the Move – Exploring Contemporary Dynamics of Migration
Uppsala University invites paper proposals for a U4 Cluster Conference Social Sciences, Economics and Law (SSEL), hosted by Uppsala University, 29-30 May 2017.

The U4 cooperation is especially intended to take stock of academic research activities within the participating universities. The aim is to disseminate research, stimulate research cooperation, and provide a venue for innovative and multi-disciplinary research approaches and critical reflection. The SSEL Conference 2017 aims to bring together researchers and PhD students from the participating universities on topics specifically addressing today’s global challen ges for societies. The conference theme of the contemporary dynamics of migration operates at many levels in society. It involves challenges emanating from different kinds of population movements, influencing issues of borders, governance, legislation, labour, health and mediation of refugeedom among others. U4 runs between 9 am on May 29 and 17 (at the latest) May 30 |

The Human Security Implications of the Refugee Crisis: Evaluating Current Policies and Discussing Potential Solutions
Istanbul Human Security Conference
19-20-21 October 2016
Istanbul, Kadir Has University
The sixth Istanbul Human Security Conference will be taking place on 20-21 October 2016. As a close collaboration between the Centre for Trust, Peace and Social Relations (CTPSR) at Coventry University, the United Nations Human Security Unit and Kadir Has University in Istanbul, the conference will be hosted by Kadir Has University in Istanbul.
This year, we are focusing on displacement and human security due to the importance and urgency of this topic. Currently, there are around 60 million displaced people around the world. Although displacement is not a new phenomenon, it can be said that this is a highly important issue considering the fact that this is the highest number noted since the World War II. Among many conflicts in the world, the war in Syria and its spill-over to the Middle East should be mentioned as they created more than 10 million internally displaced people and refugees which affected not just the neighbouring regions but other continents including Europe.
The exponential influx of refugees has led to humanitarian crises which the international community had to face. This situation surely brings human security implications that both individual governments and international organizations have to address immediately. European governments and other international organizations are constantly trying to find a common response to the current developments, however there is still much to be done in terms of accomodating refugees, sustaining national and human security in order to properly care for the displaced and reassure the host populations.
This year, we are accepting presentations from authors who will focus on displacement and human security related issues. Our aim is to bring about a fresh approach to the turmoil that is engendered by the so-called refugee crisis and provide suggestions and solutions to move forward. We are open to presentations that focus on the implications of Syrian War on displacement but we also welcome others that focus on any other case study that has to do with displacement and human security.

Beatrix Bücher-Aniyamuzaala, Co-Author of the CARE Research Study „Women, Work & War. Syrian women and the struggle to survive five years of conflict, Austria

Melissa Fleming, Head, Communications and Public Information Service Spokesperson for the High Commissioner
Female refugees living in Austria
Moderation:
Viola Raheb, University of Vienna
Worldwide more than 42 million people are fleeing war and persecution. According to UNHCR “Women and girls comprise about half of any refugee, internally displaced or stateless population”. According to UNHCR data, women account for approximately 50.3% of Syrian refugees today. Among the refugees, arriving to Europe recently, especially through the Balkan route, the number of women on among refugees is increasing. According to the UNESCO the figures from Macedonia reflect this development; the percentage of women and children among the refugees passing through Macedonia during September 2015 was 36%, and increased in October to reach 44%. Hence, the reasons for flight of women are diverse. Patriarchal structures on various levels have immediate consequences on both reasons and experiences of flight of women. Often, women are also faced with an additional gender-based violence both in the context of political upheaval, on the road as well as often also in the shelters.
