The workshop is organized by Centre for Global Migration Studies at the University of Göttingen and the research project TemPro at the University of Bergen and Christian Michelsen Institute (CMI).

About the workshop:

The workshop is a cross-disciplinary coming together of legal and anthropological perspectives. By inviting researchers with different experiences with interdisciplinary work and gender into dialogue, we will together try to unpack the added value of a common perspective (“third space”) of law and social sciences (legal anthropology/ geography/ political science/ sociology). How can we find a common ground where both disciplinary knowledge practices can fruitfully enrich each other? What theoretical, conceptual, and practical challenges does interdisciplinarity raise, and how might we work through and with these challenges?
