Africans on the move: Critical Reflections on Mobility, Citizenship and Belonging

For 2022, we would like to organize a three-part series that will include our annual AMMODI Keynote Lecture. The series will be online, widely advertised and again, include dual translation into French and English in order to widen access for our broad international audience. The sub-theme we have chosen for this year’s virtual lecture series is “Africans on the move: Critical Reflections on Mobility, Citizenship and Belonging”. The series explores a central theme in migration research, namely the identity-mobility nexus, but does so through ongoing research from across the African continent. The theme encompasses issues relating to xenophobia and migrant integration, documentation and migrant rights, and the role of the diaspora. The emphasis is on intra-African migration, to balance the previous series’ focus on Afro-European relations.
