The 50th Anniversary of Migration from Turkey to Germany:“(Re)Considering the Last 50 Years of Migration and Current Immigration Policies in Germany

The conference brings scholars, policy experts, and practitioners together to articulate the contemporary debates on migration and immigration policy in Germany, and to compare the German case to other European countries as well as North America from interdisciplinary and international perspectives. The focus on immigration from Turkey to Germany over an extended period (1961-2011) will permit a close examination of the dynamics of discourse on immigration, and how these discourses have shaped public attitudes and political debate, which in turn have influenced the course of migration policies in Germany.
