Project
F08 – Threatened Solidarities

Project within the CRC 923

Working title: Alliances of care: mobilizing discourses and practices in refugee support around 2015.

Project F08 investigates the discourses and practices of solidarity care in the support for refugees around the year 2015. With a local focus on Tübingen, the project illuminates the diverse and contradictory networks and alliances of that time. By focusing on solidaristic care, the project develops a new explanatory approach to the cohesion and form of mobilization of support for refugees on the ground.

 

Research interests:

  • Solidarity, common properties, convivialism.
  • Research in and about social movements
  • Theories of practice
  • Critical migration research
  • Critical urban research
