This interdisciplinary workshop is organized by two nccr – on the move projects:

• Narratives of Crisis and Their Influence in Shaping Discourses and Policies of Migration and Mobility
• Evolving (Im)Mobility Regimes: Migrant Workers’ Entitlement and Precarization in Times of Crisis

Migration and crises are framed differently by various actors. Media and politicians often label situations as crises, while migrants and researchers may not see them that way. Contrasting narratives on migration (especially in times of crisis) emerge in public discourse and in academia. The workshop aims to explore these varied views by encouraging interdisciplinary exchange. It focuses on how different types of crises – i.e. socio-political, economic, border and health crises – shape narratives on migration in times of crisis and how counternarratives emerge in response to dominant discourses. By examining the overlaps and differences between diverse scientific approaches, the workshop seeks to foster a deeper, more nuanced understanding of (counter)narratives on migration during crises.
