Keynote speaker: Prof. Ash Amin
Professor Amin of Cambridge University is known for his work on the geographies of modern living: cities and regions as relationally constituted; globalisation as an everyday process; the economy as a cultural entity; race and multi culture as a hybrid of biopolitics and vernacular practices. He has held Fellowships and Visiting Professorships at a number of European Universities. He is currently Director of Research in the Department of Geography, Christ College, Cambridge University, UK.
Welcome by Prof. Marlou Schrover
Professor Schrover is a full-time professor in Economic and Social History at Leiden University, with a special interest in migration history. In 2013 she concluded a large NWO-vici project on differences between men and women in migration to the Netherlands after 1945. The Vici project generated 65 academic publications, including three dissertations, plus articles for non-academic audiences, appearances on television and radio, and over 80 conference presentations.
