Questioning the Safe Haven: Interdisciplinary Inquiries into Violence in Refugee Arrival and Settlement
A Workshop Series hosted by the Institute of Social Anthropology of the University of Bern
Organisers: Carolin Fischer, Manuel Insberg and Sabine Strasser
We are delighted to welcome eight researchers from multiple disciplines and various European universities from 14 to 16 September 2022 to discuss articulations and repercussions of violence in refugee arrival and settlement with a specific focus on European contexts. Based on empirical and theoretical contributions, we seek to substantiate the argument that violence does not necessarily end once refugees are granted legal protection. Across Europe refugee arrival is often coupled with violent experiences of continuous uncertainty, economic precarity and deportability. Hence, instances of violence do not disappear from peoples’ everyday lives. A key objective of the workshop is therefore to disentangle, challenge and ultimately better understand the notion of a safe haven and the scientific and political implications that derive from its shortcomings.
