Trust issues, including mistrust and distrust, are highly constitutive of migration trajectories and of building sustainable relationships in a given country or context. Trust and a sense of safety, belonging, solidarity, and reliability often shape how, where, and why people move, and how they inhabit the society and institutions of their country of citizenship or residence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A dominant understanding of trust requires recognising one\u2019s vulnerability in anticipation of others\u2019 intentions and actions, with openness to and hope for a better collective outcome. In this understanding, trust is crucial for building sustainable future societal relations. Yet the definition, narrative and enactment of trust can be contested. Trust is shaped by inequities and discrimination, and by phenomena such as racism, whereas racism, structural and beyond may influence people\u2019s opportunities to trust the society or the communities living in it. Trust can be exploited, and mistrust can be protective or can foster solidarity and grassroots activism. Hence, trust, as a concept and as an experience, is elusive and disputed. It is contextual \u2013 depending on and embedded in the surroundings; relational \u2013 building on the relations between individuals or institutions; and dynamic \u2013 it is a process that can shift and change; it is constantly renegotiated. This makes research on trust challenging both conceptually and methodologically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite its contested nature, the meaning and role of trust, as well as mistrust and distrust, in the context of migration and belonging have been relatively understudied, both theoretically and empirically. This conference reflects on the diverse ways of conceptualising, inhabiting, experiencing, and enacting trust. It also traces both traditional and new research methodologies on trust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Explore the full program <a href=\"https:\/\/mobilefutures.fi\/etmu-2026\/program\/\">here<\/a>!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Read more about the panelists and keynotes <a href=\"https:\/\/mobilefutures.fi\/etmu-2026\/keynote-speakers-and-panelists\/\">here<\/a>!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Consult the <a href=\"https:\/\/mobilefutures.fi\/etmu-2026\/\">conference website <\/a>for practical information, safe space guidelines, contact information and more.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TOWARDS GOOD RELATIONSIN MOBILE FUTURES: The Role of Trust for Migration and Belonging Welcome to the ETMU Conference 5\u20136 November 2026!
