15-16th November 2018 Åbo Akademi University, Turku, Finland We invite workshops proposals for the 15th ETMU Conference: Vulnerability, Resilience and Resistance in Diverse Societies. Read more about the 15th ETMU Conference from the official site.
The 14th ETMU Days of 2017 will take place in Jyväskylä. This year’s theme “Race, Power, and Mobilities” hopes to break taboos around the word “race” with the intention of reclaiming it and drawing attention to processes of racialization, power, and movement as well as their intersections. On the one hand, in the Nordic countries previous studies on (im)migration and ethnicity, have mainly neglected or ignored questions of power. On the other...

👋🏻Hello again! 👋🏻
ETMU Days 2018 continued with a keynote by *Julian Reid* from the University of Lapland. In his talk, he importantly challenged the concept of resilience, particularly the ways in which it has become a “cliché of white western neoliberal governance” that is used to “discipline indigenous peoples to perform their own resilience”. He urged us to remain alert and critical in the presence of talk of “the resilient subject” that is complicit in perpetuating colonial and neoliberal discourses and structures. He also unvealed some of the highly problematic and complex collaborations between science and coorperations in the name of “resilience”, yet he did so without dismissing the enabling hope and acts of perseverance that can happen under the banner of this “dangerous concept”. What are you taking home from this talk? #takehomemessage #etmudays2018
👋🏻✨Welcome to the ETMU Days 2018! ✨👋🏻
We’re glad you’re here. Especially so you can take forward the important messages Professor Jenny Phillimore shared with us in her opening keynote on refugees who are survivors of sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV):
There is a lot receiving societies can do to reduce the structural and symbolic, often retraumatizing, violence they exert on refugees who are surviving SGBV: ”End the uncertainty associated with asylum processes!”, “stop making people go through traumatic detail [in asylum interviews].”, “allow people to forget!”, “create safe housing situations”, “address isolation!”, and “provide free health and social care for all SGBV survivors!” What were your main take-aways? #takehomemessage #etmudays2018

The past few years have seen the forced displacement of people from around the world on an unprecedented scale.🤗Heippa friends of ETMU!🤗
It’s conference week! The ETMU Days 2018 at Åbo Akatemi are only a few days away. As I’m preparing to travel to Turku, I realize I know shockingly little about issues of migration and ethnicity there. Who are the historical and contemporary migrant communities of/around Turku? In what ways are they (under)represented? What research exists that educates me about local ETMU-related topics? Anyone want to enlighten me❓
Here is something to start with: An excellent study by Linda Bäckman about so-called “second generation” migrants, including some who reside in/around Turku. You are interested in language, ethnicity/race, identity, belonging? This is for you to enjoy!

Mediassa uutisoidaan säännöllisesti siirtolaisten massakuolemista Välimerellä, Euroopan ulkorajalla. Miksi kuolemista kerrotaan nimenomaan numeroina? Tätä pohtii akatemiatutkija Karina Horsti Ilmiössä julkaistussa tuoreessa kirjoituksessaan.
"Miten on mahdollista, että vaarallista rajaa tuottavat hallitukset kokevat niin mutkattomaksi korostaa rajoille kuolleiden siirtolaisten suurta määrää? Onko siirtolaiskuolema Euroopan rajoilla normalisoitunut ikäväksi mutta välttämättömäksi Euroopan integraation sivutuotteeksi?"
Miksi siirtolaisten kuolemat esitetään numeroina?

Välimeri on maailman kuolemanvaarallisin raja. Meren yli yrittävien siirtolaisten kuolemista kerrotaan numeroina, jotka desinfioivat kuoleman ja häivyttävät siirtolaisten ihmisyyden. Kuolemien laskeminen on 25 vuodessa muuttunut ihmisoikeusaktivistien projektista eurooppalaisten hallitusten kei...
