Abstract
MeDiMi is an interdisciplinary research group funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG). MeDiMi studies the scope, forms, and consequences of the “humanrightization” of discursive practices in migration-related conflicts. It analyzes the manifold references to human rights in legal, political, and everyday contexts, with the aim of developing a practice theory of human rights in contemporary societies. After two years of research, the MeDiMi conference 2024 further explored the intersection of human rights and migration. The participants discussed a wide variety of legal struggles, issues of in-/exclusion, and (self-)representations of actors. Rather than providing preliminary results and theoretical findings from their own research, the MeDiMi researchers invited others to share their insights into the dynamics of humanrightization: the practices of human rights movements, the role of human rights law, the interplay of human rights and democracy, and the making of human rights consciousness in migration societies. This book contains the abstracts and short bios of the speakers. It documents the contributions to an exciting and enriching conference that brought together people from various disciplines and countries.Link to publications or other datasets
