Bringing Migration and History into the Equation: Re-Imagining Nationhood and Belonging

The conference, Bringing Migration and History into the Equation: Re-Imagining Nationhood and Belonging, will address the intersection of migration, identity formation and belonging from comparative and historical perspectives. The emphasis will be on the intersection of history, politics and commemorative practices/strategies. Case studies as well as theoretical contributions will be presented.
The conference will be framed by the 50th anniversary of the German-Turkish labor recruitment contract in October 2011. Its commemoration raises a number of questions which will be contextualized in a comparative and international framework. The conference will take up this case to shed light on more general issues.
