International Conference
Exiled Scholars and ‘Academic Humanitarianism’ - Conjunctures of Solidarity in Times of Global Crises
Dear Colleagues,
We would like to cordially invite you to the conference "Exiled Scholars and 'Academic Humanitarianism': Conjunctures of Solidarity in Times of Global Crises".
- Date & time: 13 May 2024, 10:00 – 17:45h
- Place: Alice Salomon University of Applied Sciences Berlin, Alice-Salomon-Platz 5, 12627 Berlin
- Conference programme: click here for details.
- Please note: Part "Solidarity and Support for social work educators from Ukraine" in Roundtable is unfortunately cancelled.
At the conference we will be discussing with experts from Germany and abroad about the structural conditions, institutional innovations and current challenges in the context of opening up universities and the academic system to at-risk and exiled scholars. We seek to critically reflect on the concept of “academic humanitarianism” and the impact of novel constellations of power/knowledge on discourses, institutional actors, and structures of funding in academia. Finally, we also ask whether we can envision alternative modes of cooperation with exiled scholars, defined by broader transformative struggles around social and epistemic justice in higher education.
The international conference is organized as part of the Sage SAGE! Programme’s project "International and in Solidarity" and is funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research.
We are looking forward to welcome you at our conference in Berlin. In case you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us via the email.

In their article "International and in solidarity with at-risk scholars", Prof. Dr. Esra Erdem, Dr. Ozan Zeybek and Dr. Zafer Yilmaz (sub-project 2) look at the perspectives of persecuted academics (p. 18-20).
