For the past few years, the focus of migration research has been on questions of integration and how cities deal with refugee migration in Germany. This seminar now opens our eyes to higher-level, global issues that will occupy us in the coming years. For example, technological development and climate change affect forms and patterns of migration. These developments and inventions determine how we will live. This raises key questions for our societies: which infrastructures filter migration and mobility and who has access to mobility, who remains immobile? How is work reorganised (digital work) and how does unequal access to new technologies affect future migrations? Secondly, the seminar focuses on the impact of climate change in countries of origin, transit and destination: we focus on the state of knowledge and look comparatively at examples from the Global North and Global South. close
