NEW GRANT ACQUISITION

My habilitation project Migration as Morality Politics: The Contentious Politics of Sanctuary in Europe and the United States has been awarded the prestigious "Elise Richter Grant" of the Austrian Science Fund!


The project addresses a research gap concerning the role of values in migration politics. It does so through an empirical study of the contentious politics of sanctuary in Europe and the United States. On the basis of qualitative interviews and primary document analysis, the project investigates three types of sanctuary practices: church asylum, sanctuary cities/firewall policies, and humanitarian rescue operations in the Mediterranean and at the United States-Mexico border. These practices are highly contested, generate contentious political dynamics, implicate religious values and actors, and involve moral controversies and dilemmas. The project uses these three types of sanctuary as empirical case studies that will serve as building blocks for the development of a theory of migration as morality politics.

Project duration: 1 October 2019 - 30 September 2023

Acquired third-party funds: 375.396,00 €
