MPI-MMG in Dialogue "Understanding support for diversity"
Popular support for diversity is often underestimated and, so far, insufficiently understood. The Diversity Assent (DivA) Project at the Max Planck Institute for the Study of Religious and Ethnic Diversity addresses this gap. On 28 June, Max-Planck researchers Eloisa Harris and Karen Schönwälder will discuss key results with Nan Zhang and Andreas Zick from Mannheim and Bielefeld Universities. Attend the discussion live in Göttingen, per livestream or watch the video afterwards.
MPI-MMG in Dialogue
SUPERDIVERSITY AND THE DYNAMICS OF DIVERSIFICATION
Am 19. April diskutierten Junjia Ye (Nanyang Technological University, Singapore), Darshan Vigneswaran (University of Amsterdam) und Peter Scholten (Erasmus University Rotterdam) mit MPI-Direktor Steven Vertovec über sein neues Buch. Das Video dazu finden Sie hier.
 
 
Visuelle Geschichten
Die neue Website der Forschungsgruppe „Altern in einer Zeit der Mobilität” übersetzt Forschungsergebnisse in visuelle Geschichten. Sie ist das Ergebnis einer Zusammenarbeit zwischen der Forschungsgruppe und Alvaro Martinez, einem Anthropologen, visuellen Künstler und Grafikdesigner.
 
   
Superdiversity. Migration and Social Complexity
Das neue Buch Superdiversity von Steven Vertovec ist ein überzeugendes Plädoyer für die Anerkennung neuer sozialer Formationen, die durch sich verändernde Migrationsmuster entstehen. Es fordert ein Überdenken der staatlichen Politik und der sozialwissenschaftlichen Ansätze zum Thema soziale Unterschiede. Die Open-Access-Version ist jetzt unter www.taylorfrancis.com verfügbar.
INSIGHTS @mpimmg
In dieser Reihe geben unsere Forscher*innen kurze dreiminütige Einblicke in ihre Arbeit: was sie erforschen, wie sie es tun und warum es wichtig ist. In der vierten Folge spricht Sanja Bökle auf Englisch darüber, wie politische Interessenvertretungen mit Vielfalt und mit den Herausforderungen der Intersektionalität umgehen.
 
The British Academy und Alexander von Humboldt-Stiftung

The Oxford Handbook of Superdiversity
Die gedruckten Exemplare des Handbuchs der Superdiversität sind erschienen. Das von Fran Meissner, Nando Sigona und Steven Vertovec herausgegebene Buch bietet einzigartige Einblicke in die laufenden Debatten über Diversität und die Frage, wie diese angesichts komplexer sozialer Veränderungen sinnvoll genutzt werden kann.
Superdiversity, complexity and conundrums of categorization
Keynote address by Steve Vertovec to the International Conference organised by the University of Birmingham's Institute for Research into Superdiversity (IRIS) to mark its 10th anniversary. In his address Professor Vertovec locates the 'superdiversity thing' in the tradition of anti-essentialism and unpacks some of the conundrums of contemporary identity politics and boundary making.
