Reproduction of (Un)-modernity at the site of the everyday: Knowledge production practices on ‘migrant families’ in the Netherlands

This paper examines how the everyday doing of ‘migrant families’ is described, problematized, and disciplined within knowledge production practices. Through a critical discourse analysis of researc...

New publication, open access: Happy to see this last and maybe most important article of my PhD research published. I argue that liberal democracies cannot require 'shared values', neither of migrants (only), as is the case for the integration requirement... (1/4)

Integration for whom? New publication mit @lutzphilipp.bsky.social 🙌

Just published! I was invited by Comparative Migration Studies (CMS) to contribute a short article on ‘categorization’ and ‘technologies of migranticization’ to their anniversary special issue.

I warmly thank CMS for this invitation and..... Congratulations on your 10th birthday!
