Conference Announcement Theme: Rights and Citizenship Subtitle: Reconsidering Politics and Law in light of Contemporary Challenges Type: International Conference Institution: Free University of Berlin Location: Berlin (Germany) Date: 13.4.9.2019 __________________________________________________ A basic claim implicit in the idea of Human Rights is that human beings are entitled to certain inalienable rights independent of their nationality, ethnicity, religion, and any other affiliations. However, the challenges faced by immigrants, refugees, stateless people, and citizens of failed states in our times suggest that the link between citizenship and rights should not be ignored. This workshop will investigate the relation between citizenship and rights with the aim of discovering new ways of thinking in approaching humanitarian issues. The conference includes a show and discussion of documentary “Newcomers” (2018) with director Ma’an Mouslli. The film shows interviews in which refugees talk about their own experiences. https://newcomers-film.de/ http://www.taz.de/Archiv-Suche/!5494088&s=&SuchRahmen=Print/ Confirmed speakers: Lilian Alweiss (Trinity College Dublin) Sorin Baiasu (Keele University) Ruhi Demiray (Freie University Berlin) André Grahle (LMU Munich) Corinna Mieth (Ruhr University Bochum) Ma’an Mouslli (Osnabrück) Alice Pinheiro Walla (University of Bayreuth) Arthur Ripstein (University of Toronto) Christian Volk (Freie University Berlin) Ewa Wyrębska-Ɖermanović (University of Bayreuth) To attend the conference, please contact Dr. Ewa Wyrębska-Ɖermanović at: [email protected] Unfortunately, we are unable to offer travel funds for conference attendance.
