Series "Sustainable prospects to stay": Controversial border demarcations - debates on deportations, social rights and multiple precariousness
Deportations are practices of demarcation. They are an attempt to enforce the exclusion of those who are excluded from social rights in the national welfare state. However, deportations are socially controversial, even contested. Time and again, deportations fail due to the stubborn practices of migrants and solidarity-based support. Maren Kirchhoff looks at the history of disputes over deportations in the Federal Republic of Germany and also discusses the connection between (impending) deportations and multiple precariousness.
Speaker: Maren Kirchhoff (Research Associate in the Department of Global Political Economy of Labor with regard to Gender Relations, University of Kassel)
From the event series "Bleibeperspektive oder Flucht und Migration in Zeiten des Umbruchs in Deutschland" (April 24 to July 10, 2025)
Debates about migration are increasingly dominating kitchen table conversations and politics. At the same time, discussions are becoming increasingly emotionalized and fronts in society are hardening. The student project "Sustainable Perspective to Stay" at the University of Kassel aims to create the opportunity to take another look at the basic idea of asylum and asylum law. In addition to the legal perspective, there will be a strong focus on the current living environments of migrants. In this context, topics such as migration, work and social rights will be examined in the context of a restrictive migration policy. In addition to lectures, the series of events also includes a reading, two film screenings, a networking meeting and a workshop. Following the events, there will be an open space for discussion.
The series of events is organized and carried out by the project "Sustainable prospects to stay and participation in education for students with refugee experience" at the University of Kassel. Further information on the project can be found on the website: www.bleibeperspektive.com
