Call for Papers PhD Fellowship on Migration and Global Inequality Centre for the Study of Equality and Multiculturalism (CESEM), University of Copenhagen Copenhagen (Denmark) __________________________________________________ The Graduate School at the Faculty of Humanities at University of Copenhagen, Denmark invites applications for a joint Ph.D. fellowship between the Faculty of Humanities, the Danish Institute of International Affairs, Copenhagen and the Danish Agency for Science, Technology and Innovation. The PhD Fellowship is awarded within the area of Migration and global inequality and is expected to be enrolled at the Graduate School at the Faculty of Humanities from 1 Septemeber 2009. The PhD program is a three-year program. Proposals should explore the double process of flow and closure of globalisation; the relationship between flows in terms of migration, instability, movement on the one hand, and attempts to fix these flows in terms of control and governing on the other. Furthermore, both empirical and normative aspects of these processes should be explored just as fieldwork is encouraged. Empirical aspects may include, e.g., the following questions: a) What are the relationships between global inequality, movement and control? b) What is the relationship between mobility and emancipation? c) How do we relate power, inequality and movement? d) Does migration reduce inequality or does it reproduce it? Normative aspects may include, e.g., the following questions: i) How, if at all, can state coercion of would-be immigrants (e.g. forcibly denying them access to territory) be justified? One consideration is that state coercion is sometimes described as legitimate only if the people who are coerced have democratic influence on the state. ii) While immigration to western liberal democracies is sometimes described as a threat to equality and the welfare state, it may also significantly contribute to global equality. So what does justice imply for the issue of open vs. closed borders? The PhD fellow will be jointly associated with Centre for the Study of Equality and Multiculturalism (CESEM), University of Copenhagen, and the Danish Institute for International Studies (DIIS).
