Contested categories in the context of international migration
Who is a minor? Age assessments of refugees in Germany and the classificatory multiplicity of the state
Foreclosure, Disclosure, and Political Engagement
Considering the increased institutionalization of scholar-activist research across many university contexts, this reflection critically engages the assumed harmony between scholarship and activism in migration research. Collaboratively authored by eight academics at various disciplinary, geographic, gendered/racialized, and career-level junctures, the article examines the commitments, aspirations, anxieties, and contradictions of activist scholar…
Ambiguous Ages, Ambivalent Youths
Many of the unaccompanied young migrants who have sought asylum in Germany since 2015 do not own documentation of their birth dates or even know their exact ages. Yet asylum and youth welfare laws distinguish precisely between minors and adults, down to the day, thus making it necessary for the German state to estimate the birth dates of young migrants and compelling some of the migrants to claim to be minors. In this article, drawing on years of…
The Effect of Offspring Sex on Parents' Migration Probabilities and Outcomes-A Natural Experiment
Scholars can rarely make causal claims about migration probabilities and outcomes. Leveraging a natural experiment based on the randomness of offspring sex, this paper uses the German SOEP Migration Sample to examine the effect of having a first-born son or daughter on parents' likelihood to migrate and integrate. It shows that (non-Christian) parents of sons are more likely to migrate to Germany, but parents of daughters fare better after migrat…
Flucht nach vorne (seeking refuge in the future)
This article is based on fieldwork we each conducted with refugees in Berlin between 2016 and 2021. We were both puzzled by our interlocutors' repeated professed desires to leave Germany, often when their lives here were improving. We wondered how they could possibly fantasize about repeating the experiences of their initial flight, which were deeply wounding and traumatic. We argue against a reading of trauma and agency as existing in opposition…
