"Migration, Education, Development, Labour and the State"

This International Workshop, the second in our Research Project (FWF/Austrian Science Fund): "Entanglements between Cuba and the German Democratic Republic: mobilities, exchanges, circulations within the Council for Mutual Economic Assistance" (https://socialist-entanglements.univie.ac.at) puts a focus on situations of intense entanglement between migration and education. Both notions are understood in a large sense: migration including temporary migration, education including all-sided education - to a citizen of a certain type, to a certain "civilized" behaviour - beyond formalized education or training. In this wide understanding, potentially enter all forms of educational and of labour migration. The State (or International Organization or Non-State Organization or Party) enters as a provider of all-sided education. We are interested in situations in which the intervention of such institutional actors targets (temporary) migrants, in which migration is seen as a chance for transforming the individual. We also ask for educational and "civilizing" concepts put into motion through migration. We focus on organized - framed by States or organizations - and temporary forms of migration. The time focus is the post-colonial era, the period of system competition, with a special zoom into the Socialist World System. As we favour comparative approaches, we may also integrate flash-backs into anterior periods featuring formative elements for the scrutinized constellations of Migration, Education, Labour and the State.

We thus welcome all presentations focussing on temporary migrants as educational subjects. Please send in proposals of around 500 words accompanied by a short biographical notice by 30.09.2021 to: claudia.martinez-hernandez@univie.ac.at; berthold.unfried@univie.ac.at.

Modus:

For reasons of planning security, we plan a virtual conference. If we are not haunted by restricting regulations concerning newly emerging variants of the pandemic, we may consider a presence meeting at the University of Vienna.
