In a workshop on 22.11.2021, Denis van de Wetering presented the first results from the project Renegotiating Local Orders: Migration-induced Diversity, Intergroup Relations, Conflicts and Integration Dynamics in the Neighbourhood. Together with intervention actors from the Alliance for Good Neighbourhood, the findings were critically discussed with regard to their significance for practice. The alliance and the project agreed on further cooperation, especially to explore the possibilities and limits of science-practice transfer together.

As part of our Institute’s 25th-year conference series, we are hosting an online panel on "Transnational conflicts, belongings and social interactions" on December 1st, 2021 at 13.00. The panel is organised by Elif Sandal Önal, Aydın Bayad, and N. Ekrem Düzen as part of the Transnational Influences, Migrant Identities, and Social Cohesion (TransMIGZ) Project funded by the BMBF.

As ethnic, religious, cultural, and political diversity characterize European societies evermore, the significance of questions on belonging and cohesion is also increasing. The migrant communities living in Europe relate themselves to multiple lifeworlds such as societies they are living in or the countries they are originated from. This in-between position makes them fragile and even puts them in a doutle bind especially when they are exposed to different, sometimes conflicting political discourses of different national contexts. The research on diaspora and transnationalism successfully conceptualize how migrant communities are mobilized to influence home politics (e.g., Shain and Barth, 2003). On the other side of the coin are the sense of belonging and the issue of social cohesion, remaining an area of debate, that should be addressed in an interdisciplinary manner (Glasius, 2018). Diaspora, taken as a group or a space free from the political control of the home-state (Adamson, 2021) might also indicate a fragmented and heterogeneous social group having complex relations with both the country of residence (host) and origin (home). Attempts to reveal these relations could be framed in different levels (intergroup and intragroup) in understanding the priority of belongingness of the members of this fragmented diaspora. Focusing on Turkey-origin diasporic communities in Germany, this panel aims to bring together knowledge of scholars from various disciplines on how transnational bonds would influence the sense of belonging, identity expressions, and intergroup relations of postmigrants, and their implications on social cohesion.

There is no registration requirement for the event. The inputs given by the speakers, but not the general discussion, will be recorded during the session.
