Migration: Categories, Concepts, Terminologies
Date: 15-16 May 2025
Place: Research Centre of the Slovenian Academy of Sciences and Arts – ZRC SAZU,
Novi trg 2, Ljubljana, Slovenia
„We seek to understand the ways in which these new approaches, based on the idea of complex
movements, help to loosen current associations between migration and the nation-state. In so
doing, the conference attempts to broaden perceptions of spatial mobility, which are understood
as a fundamental aspect of social life and human agency. We aim to verify and discuss how
intersectional perspectives can help us challenge and reinterpret narrow categories and
classifications. We also ask how power relations based on categories of differentiation
(race/ethnicity, class, gender, citizenship, profession, age, education, religion etc.), affect each
other, and how they operate as overlapping systems of inclusion, exclusion, and oppression.
The conference aims to facilitate discussion between scholars from diverse disciplines across
the historical and social sciences.“
