International Conference on Exiled Scholars andAcademic Humanitarianism’ - Conjunctures of Solidarity in Times of Global Crises

We aim to critically discuss the commitment to “academic humanitarianism” that has emerged in recent years, alongside novel constellations of power/knowledge in academia that include new institutional discourses, actors, and structures of funding.

We ask where this leaves the exiled scholars themselves, and whether we can envision alternative modes of cooperation, defined by broader transformative struggles around social and epistemic justice in higher education.

Conference date and time:

May 13, 2024, 10 a.m. – 5:45 p.m.

Venue:

Audimax, Alice Salomon Hochschule Berlin, Alice Salomon-Platz 5, 12627 Berlin

Participation in the conference is free of charge, but we ask you to register so that we can plan ahead.

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).
