Abstract:
Humans migrate, animals migrate – “migration” is a central theme in both human societies and animal populations. For the first time, migration researchers across the University of Konstanz will come together in a single event to share wide-ranging perspectives and findings on this rich and storied topic.
Researchers from the Zukunftskolleg; the two Clusters of Excellence “Politics of Inequality” and “Collective Behavior”; and the Cultural Studies Research Center will present their diverse studies on migration across the realms of politics, biology, law and sociology in lively three-minute speed talks.
Framing this showcase of science will be an exhibition of works by George Butler, an artist who includes human as well as animal global movement in his exploration of “migration”, highlighting the interactive elements of both. The exhibition, which will run for the entire month from 11 June - 12 July, will host a mid-exhibition event on June 25.
