• Interdisciplinary perspectives on transnational migrant remittance- Summer School

    • Concept of the Summer School:

      The interdisciplinary Summer School is dedicated to a classic and at the same time highly topical subject of interdisciplinary migration, diaspora and development research: remittances, which are transferred between migrants and their transnational families and communities of origin. 
       
      The aim of the Summer School is to introduce students to the often-separated debates on financial, social, and non-material ("intangible") remittances. From a sociological, geographical, developmental, and economic perspective, participants explore the ambivalent impact of remittances between supporting families and communities, local development and the (re)production of social inequalities.
       
      An integral part of the Summer School is the introduction to and production of podcasts. Interdisciplinary teams work together to create a series of short podcasts on key aspects of remittances. They receive didactic and technical guidance and support about recording, editing, acquisition of third-party content and copyrights from the ZfW eTeam Digitalisierung in a peer-to-peer learning format.
       
      The Summer School is open to master students from all master programmes of the Ruhr-University Bochum and the partner universities of the University Alliance Ruhr (UA Ruhr).
