Documentary Screening: ‘And Miles to Go Before I Sleep’
On October 10th he Understanding Asia Colloquium Series continues with th screening of the documentary `And Miles to Go Before I Sleep´. It will take place from 16 to 18 in X-E-0-226 and can also be joined via Zoom. For registration click here.
Nguyen Quoc Phi was an undocumented migrant worker, or a ‘runaway’, in northern Taiwan before he was shot nine times by the police and left unattended by the paramedics on 31 August 2017. What made him ‘run away’ from his factory work? How did he find jobs in various construction sites? Why did he start taking drugs? Was he an imperfect victim? These are straightforward questions leading to complicated answers. The award-winning documentary And Miles to Go before I Sleep brings to the fore the nakedness of discrimination and the challenges to humanity if we choose to be bystanders indifferent to inequality and injustice.
The content of the documentary includes violent scenes, and the topics under discussion may be stressful for some viewers.
Film length: 90 Minutes
Q&A and Knowledge Co-Production Activity: 30 Minutes

Coordinator: Dr. Isabelle Cockel (University of Portsmouth) and Huy Tran (Bielefeld University)
Dr. Isabelle Cockel is Senior Lecturer in East Asian and International Development Studies at the University of Portsmouth. Her research focuses on labour and marriage migration in East Asia. She is particularly interested in how the state instrumentalises immigration for political economic interests. Her publications focus on sovereignty, citizenship, gender, activism, and irregular work in the informal labour market. Enacting upon her commitment to academic activism, she utilises academic blogs to raise public awareness of inequality and injustice embedded in labour migration.
Dr. Huy Tran is a postdoctoral research fellow at the Faculty of Sociology, Bielefeld University. His research pays attention to the several patterns and aspects of transnational migration in East Asia and the Vietnamese migrant community in Japan. He also has an interest on the sexual and gender dimension in transnational migration, migration brokerage and the migration industry.

[Weiterlesen]New Frontiers of Research on Welfare in the Global South - Ring Lecture Series
Whereas the welfare state in the Global North has been a response to industrialization and the rise of the workers' movement, the Global South is characterized by different legacies of social policy that stem, among others, from their colonial histories and the influence of transnational actors such as international organizations. In recent decades, social policies have further expanded across the Global South, as international organizations such as the ILO have (re-)discovered global poverty and the widespread lack of social protection for certain groups in the so-called "developing world" as intertwined. In light of far-reaching societal transformations, there have certainly been large-scale social policy developments in these countries in recent decades.
This lecture series hosts eminent scholars of social policy, anthropology, development and related fields, who will present their work on new frontiers of research on welfare in the Global South. Overall, the lecture series enquires into the varying trajectories of welfare transformations in the Global South and their political, historical and social contexts.
All lectures, with exception of the first, will be hybrid events. To register to the Zoom events click here.

Habilitationsvortrag von Dr. Rosa Brandhorst „Jugendtransitionen im Kontext intra-europäischer Migration und Wirtschaftskrisen“
Dr. Brandhorst erlangte die Venia Legendi in Soziologie und wurde von folgender Habilitationskommission, bestehend aus Prof. Dr. Thomas Faist (Universität Bielefeld), Prof. Dr. Minh Nguyen (Universität Bielefeld) und Prof. Dr. Lena Näre (Universität Helsinki), begleitet.
Ihr Fokus liegt auf transnationalen Beziehungen, Entwicklungs- und Migrationssoziologie, wobei sie nicht nur in der Forschung aktiv ist, sondern auch maßgeblich zur Internationalisierung der Fakultät beiträgt, internationale Hochschulkooperationen fördert und den MA Soziologie International Track betreut.
Ein zentraler Bestandteil ihrer Habilitationsschrift "Transnational Social Support Networks of older Migrants in Australia" basiert auf einer umfassenden empirischen Studie über soziale Unterstützungsnetzwerke älterer Migrant*innen in Australien. Diese Arbeit analysiert die transnationale Dimension von sozialen Lebenswelten und ihre Bedeutung für das Konzept des "Ageing in Place" sowie für die Altenpflegepolitik in einer Einwanderungsgesellschaft.
Dr. Brandhorsts interdisziplinäre Forschung, welche biografische, qualitativ-netzwerkanalytische und ethnographische Methoden nutzt, trägt erheblich zur Entwicklung der Migrationssoziologie und Gerontologie bei. Ihr aktuelles Projekt untersucht die Rolle lokaler und transnationaler Unterstützungsnetzwerke in den Migrationsverläufen südeuropäischer Migrant*innen in Deutschland.
Mit ihrer wegweisenden Arbeit leistet Dr. Rosa Brandhorst einen bedeutsamen Beitrag zur soziologischen Forschungslandschaft und hebt die Relevanz von transnationalen sozialen Verflechtungen und Migrationsbewegungen für die moderne Gesellschaft hervor.
