The Willy Brandt Guest Professorship was established at Malmö University fifteen years ago. It is funded by a donation from the City of Malmö to Malmö University upon its opening. Over the years Malmö University has had the honour of hosting 24 prominent scholars from around the world within the field of migration research, and we are happy to announce that 18 of these will join us for this celebration.
The symposium aims at highlighting the state of the art of migration studies through presentations by each of the former guest professors of their current research, while also focusing on discussions of the ways forward in our field. For this the presentations will be done within panels demarcated by topic, and the end of each session will allow for time to discuss between the panellists and in plenum.
The Symposium is organized by Malmö Institute for Studies of Migration, Diversity and Welfare (MIM), the Malmö University Research Centre hosting the Willy Brandt Guest Professors since 2007.
The number of participants is limited and you need to sign up. Please follow this link to sign up: http://www.mah.se/Nyheter/Kalender/The-Willy-Brandt-Guest-Professorship-15TH-ANNIVERSARY-ACADEMIC-SYMPOSIUM/
