Migration policies throughout Europe have shifted considerably in the last year. Expected levels of tolerance in Europe are not based on universal standards, but contingent on one's situatedness in hierarchies of Europeaness.
For some European nation states, to be strict on immigration is seen as being responsible. For other nation states, with similar policies, this may be considered intolerant.
This seminar will examine contemporary migration discourse in Europe from different vantage points, especially in contexts of how Europeans balance practices of inclusion and exclusion.
