ETMU and We see you ry: Finland must protect refugees also during the COVID-19 pandemic
The consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic are complex. They show how we are all interconnected beyond state borders, and how the health of everybody depends on each individual’s choices. However, to what extent people can influence their choices varies greatly. While the pandemic certainly touches us all, its consequences are the gravest to those who are already in a marginalised position. We are worried about the health and safety of refugees...

I wrote this poem for "The 20th Nordic Migration Research Conference and the 17th Society for the Study of Ethnic Relations and International Migration Conference"...Is it us or is it getting difficult to keep up with the highlights at this ETMU and NMR conference? Today’s keynote by ✨Professor Eduardo Bonilla-Silva✨ laid our clearly what systemic racism is, how it operates, and how it has changed (and not changed) in these so called “modern” times. He addressed societal as well as personal perspectives and reminded us that there is no escaping systemic racism, which is not an excuse for bystanding. #thisisETMU #NMR #conference #systemicracism #keynote

❗️Today’s keynote ❗️was given by social and cultural anthropologist ✨Gloria Wekker✨, Professor Emerita at Utrecht University and King Willem Alexander Chair for Low Land Studies at the University of Liège, Belgium. And what an important talk it was! Gloria outlined the insidiousness of whiteness as it operates through the construction of white innocence. Many examples from the Dutch context she offered apply to Finland as well, including for instance the construction of colonial innocence by pointing to the absence of colonies and denying Finland's complicity in the European ethos of empire. #thisisETMU #NMR #conference #keynote #whiteness www.dukeupress.edu/white-innocence
