Colonialism and Migration in Global Perspective Thu July 3, 10:50–12:20, Session #203 panel | migpog Room: Online room 2 While colonialism is a global phenomenon, discussions of how it has influenced contemporary migration governance are usually confined to a handful of cases in Europe. This panel presents four papers emerging from a British Academy-funded interdisciplinary research project, which, taking colonialism’s global scope as a starting point, aims to decentre this analysis – broadening geographically and deepening temporally our understanding of how colonialism has shaped migration policies worldwide. Such a perspective questions the presumption that “settler societies” and ex-metropoles developed different, rather than similar, migration politics from their involvement in colonial empires; the frequent exclusion of Southern “settler” countries from analysis; the tendency to overlook empires based outside of Europe; a relative lack of detailed historical engagement in many social-scientific accounts of colonial influence; and a frequent lack of comparison in these examinations. Drawing insights from a range of social science and humanities fields, this project aims to help forge a global understanding of how the many identities shaped by colonization and empire shape the governance of international mobility in today’s world.
Find our project at IMISCOE this week, in the online programme -- Thursday 10:50-12:20 (Paris time). Four papers from project partners who are beaming in from all over the world! Hope to see you there.
