The seminar led by Dr. Raphaela Schweiger will delve into the profound impacts of digitalization and technological advancements on migration and refugee policies.

“Das Reich muss uns doch bleiben”: Confessional Conflict and Nationalism in Max Reger’s Germany

Whereas the period 1890–1914 (between Bismarck’s dismissal and the outbreak of the Great War) has long been framed as a relatively static episode in Second-Empire Germany, recent historiography has recognized here a nation still struggling to define its identity in the arenas of politics and culture. Since the Reformation at latest, the peculiar dynamic of German history assured that the Catholic-Protestant divide, too, would inform questions of Germanness.

PRFDHR Seminar: Native Bias: Overcoming Discrimination Against Immigrants, Professor Nicholas Sambanis

In the Garden of the Righteous: The Heroes Who Risked Their Lives to Save Jews During the Holocaust

During the Holocaust, a handful of non-Jewish people risked their lives to save the targeted and condemned.

PRFDHR Seminar: Ordinary People Under Extreme Life Conditions: Internal and External Forced Displacement from War-Torn Territories in Ukraine, Professor Oksana Mikheieva

The start of Russian aggression against Ukraine in 2014 led to the temporary occupation of the Crimea peninsula and parts of Donetsk and Luhansk region. With the beginning of Russian aggression more than 2 million people have left the uncontrolled territories of Ukraine and were forced to move both to other parts of Ukraine and beyond its borders. According to the Ministry of Social Policy, after 2015 and before the full-scale Russian invasion began on 24 February 2022, the number of registered internally displaced persons (IDPs) was relatively stable at around 1.5 million.

PRFDHR Seminar: When does Migration Law Discriminate against Women?, Dr. Catherine Briddick

It is possible to identify gendered disadvantage at almost every point in a migrant woman’s journey, physical and legal, from country of origin to country of destination, from admission to naturalization. Rules which explicitly distribute migration opportunities differently on the grounds of sex/gender, such as prohibitions on certain women’s emigration, may produce such disadvantage. Women may also, however, be disadvantaged by facially gender-neutral rules.
