Challenge accepted: Das Wir in der Migrationsgesellschaft. Podiumsdiskussion am 14. Mai 2025 in der UB@UOS..

The We in Migration Society …
On 14 May 2025, the accompanying programme will feature a discussion between Dr. Noa K. Ha,
Scientific Managing Director of the German Centre for Integration and Migration Research (DeZIM), Dr. Patrice G. Poutrus from the Institute for Migration Research and Intercultural Studies, University of Osnabrück, and Prof. Dr. Lale Yildirim (University of Kiel) from the Collaborative Research Centre 1604, with moderator Dr. Magnus Koch, Head of Exhibitions and History, Federal Chancellor Helmut Schmidt Foundation, about the history and future of an inclusive migration society in Germany.
Why do we not understand migration and diversity as a natural and opportunity-rich part of our history and present? And how can we prevent migrants and refugees from being held responsible for the crises and uncertainties of our time?
Our discussion begins in the Schmidt era – back then, in the 1970s and 1980s, important decisions were made for our field of study. From there, the experts will draw connections to the present, which is – once again – characterised by polarisation. Together we will discuss how immigration and migration policy can be designed inclusively and how a positive narrative of migration society can emerge.
Together with the University of Osnabrück Library and the Federal Chancellor Helmut Schmidt Foundation, we cordially invite you to this exciting evening of discussion.
The event begins at 7 pm at the University Library, Westerberg campus, Nelson Mandela Platz 1 in Osnabrück.
