Great to be at #DGSKA2025 where I'm not only because I'm #opentowork but also to present at a fascinating P020 (11:30-13:00 slot) about #everydayactivism of #transborderworkers in #Brandenburg.
Protests attract attention, but the activism of migrant workers remains invisible. Join us to hear more!

“everyone [in #Poland] thinks of them as suicide bombers, right? (...) No. With the ones I worked with, it was… (…) for me, they were very decent”. In our VISION Note read on how Polish #transborderworkers relate to Germans, #Ukrainians and non-European "others". visionproject.net/i-cant-say-t...

In early June the VISION team went for a field visit to Romania. We explored the city of Iași and rural areas around the city, met local researchers and talked to people in the region. It was a great experience and a very fruitful short research stay! Here is a short clip we recorded on the road.

Thank you @stefano-piemontese.bsky.social for letting us be part of the amazing film programme at this year's Association of Social Anthropologists #ASA2025 conference in Birmingham!
@piotrgoldstein.bsky.social's (and colleagues) polyphonic film explores cross-border commuters between Poland and Germany. Using a circular narrative, it captures how daily migration affects the workers' sense of time, leading them to conclude "This Week Does Not Really Exist"
