Migration to/from/within CEE: Decolonial perspectives

PostCEE

Decolonial perspectives on race, gender, sexuality and class

Questions about the position of Central and Eastern Europe in relation to European and global geographies continue to be relevant and is attracting increasing scholarly interest. In recent years theoretical insights from postsocialist, postcolonial, postdependence and decolonial thinkers have enriched academic discussions and contributed to the pushback of the epistemic marginalisation of Central and Eastern Europe. In migration studies, critical discussions around coloniality and racism are overdue. In this 2-day workshop scholars working on issues of migration and race/gender/sexuality/class will share their perspectives on decolonial thinking in Central and Eastern Europe.The event is free but there is a limited number of tickets availableDAY 13pm Brighton/Edinburgh, 4pm Warsaw/Munich/Rotterdam, 5pm Bucharest/Vilnius/Helsinki, 7am San Francisco, 9am ChicagoWelcome from organisers and Regional Studies Association, 15.00-15.20 (UK time)SESSION 1, 15.20-16.50 (UK time)Aleksandra Lewicki (University of Sussex, England): The racialization of ‘Eastern Europeans’: The (re)making of a category and structural inequalities in EUrope Daria Krivonos (University of Helsinki, Finland): Racialisation and value on the eastern slope of EuropeTereza Hendl (University of Augsburg &amp; Ludwig Maximilians University in Munich, Germany): Examining western dimensions of white ‘privilege’ and supremacy: On the need for an intersectional theory of WhitenessTaulant Guma (Edinburgh Napier University, Scotland): Methodological nationalism and ethnic lens in CEE migration research: A critical reflection17:05 - 18:50 Film screening &amp; Q&amp;A with director Olena FedyukOlha&#x27;s Italian Diary (2020)Synopsis: Olha is a migrant woman whose life is packed with turning points enough to fill up a few telenovelas and yet, it is so similar to the lives of many women of such background – Ukrainian care workers in Italy.

The short film is an intimate sneak-peek into one of the contemporary taboo topics: intimate lives of the female migrants away from home.
