Grenzen und Bewegungsfreiheit: Eine kritische Einführung mit Fabian Georgi

In the organizer's words:

With: Fabian Georgi

No registration is necessary

Borders determine who can move freely - and who cannot. But what would it mean if freedom of movement applied to everyone?

Political scientist Fabian Georgi presents his book "Borders and Freedom of Movement. A Critical Introduction" and introduces the central debates surrounding global freedom of movement. Starting with migration policy issues relating to residence permits, rights to stay and visa regimes, he also looks at larger social contexts: What role do borders play in global capitalism? How are migration policy conflicts linked to social issues - such as housing and rising rents? And what significance do global economic conditions have for the possibility of actual freedom of movement?

In his book, Georgi shows that freedom of movement is linked to far-reaching political and social changes for everyone. It is also about freedom of movement as a political utopia: what steps could lead in this direction - and what role can smaller political changes and initiatives in particular play on the way there?

Georgi will present key ideas from his book at the event. Afterwards there will be an opportunity for questions and discussion.

The event is part of the project Care, Climate Crisis, Migration: Global Justice in Times of Social Polarization.
