Come to the Fulbright-Kommission's info session at the Universität Hamburg and learn all about their programs and listen to a former Fulbright scholar report on her experiences in the USA.

We're looking forward to seeing you at this event!

The conference aims at discussing the implementation of rights of marginalised people to inclusion, self-determination and participation in society in general and especially in the labour market. The focus is on two central interconnected axes of difference, ableism and racism, which act as powerful social ?ushers? in conjunction with other constructions of difference. Both ?disability? and ?migration background? are terms used colloquially and often understood as properties associated with individuals; however, what remains hidden is how they are produced in complex processes of social construction. These processes can take on various forms in different geopolitical contexts depending on the specific logics of economic valorisation as well as different political and technical conditions. The aim of the conference is to discuss with scientists from all over the world the creation of concepts as well as theoretical and methodological tools adequate to the task of analysing marginalisation and participation. An additional focus will be on the concept and practices of inclusion and a discussion of models, perspectives and policy options. ESF-Project ?Network Participation of Multiple Discriminated People?
