Many countries need immigration to sustain their economies, yet public opposition often dominates. How can we make Immigration popular? Join @akoustov.bsky.social, Marc Helbling & Karen Schönwälder tomorrow for a panel discussion tackling this question! Moderated by @ulrikebialas.bsky.social

Despite exclusionary rhetoric, openness to migration has grown. Triadafilos Triadafilopoulos & Karen Schönwälder gave a fascinating talk today on Germany’s shift toward being an open immigration country - driven less by policy than by broader foreign policy priorities #Migration #Germany #Policy

Fantastic Keynote Lecture at our "Shaping the Field" Workshop by Phil Triadafilopoulos. He narrated the history of migration to Germany, from the 1960s to the present, through the work of Karen Schönwälder, arguing that she has pointed out positive developments even when the context is quite bleak.
