Constructing ICD #14: Intercultural Case Management: Addressing Discrimination to Empower Migrants

Constructing ICDThe next issue of Constructing intercultural Dialogues is now available, “Intercultural Case Management: Addressing Discrimination to Empower Migrants” by Fatemeh Hippler.

Case management in the context of migration refers to a structured process that helps migrants navigate the complexities of resettlement, integration, and legal processes. Key components include assessment, planning, and monitoring. A crucial component of case management is empowerment, which involves helping migrants build the skills and confidence needed to navigate their new environment independently over time. It fosters autonomy and self-sufficiency, allowing migrants to take control of their lives and decisions.

As a reminder, the goal of this series is to provide concrete examples of how actual people have managed to organize and hold intercultural dialogues, so that others may be inspired to do the same. As with other CID series, these may be downloaded for free. Click on the thumbnail to download the PDF.

IMISCOE PHD School: Migration, Racism, Discrimination (Belgium)

Study Abroad2023 IMISCOE PhD School: Critical Reflections on Migration Studies, Racism and Discrimination, 24-28 April 2023, Vrije Universiteit, Brussels, Belgium (on-site). Deadline: 8 January 2023.

Migration studies has, for long, largely ignored the study of racism. Recent calls for the decolonization of the university and Black Lives Matter 2020 led to the gradual entry of the study of race, racism and colonialism into the migration studies field. Whilst developed apart in the past, mainstream migration studies and race critical studies (from postcolonial, to decolonial, to critical race studies, Black studies and more) are slowly starting to dialogue. This IMISCOE PhD school aims at bringing together PhD researchers with experienced scholars, activists, practitioners, and artists to explore how the more mainstream social sciences on migration, racism and discrimination and race critical studies can learn from each other and (im)possibly integrate, and how we can contribute to more racial justice.

Event organized by: Brussels Interdisciplinary Research Centre on Migration and Minorities (BIRMM, Vrije Universiteit Brussel), Centre for Ethnic and Migration Studies (CEDEM, Université de Liège), Centre for the Social Study of Migration and Refugees (CESSMIR, Ghent University), & The Network on Migration and Global Mobility (University of Antwerp).
