  • Global Challenges is one of the University’s three strategic areas. This builds on a long tradition of promoting excellent research and education in development-related research. This type of research has been of major societal importance, and has brought a critical scientific perspective to discussions of different global challenges in different arenas locally, nationally and internationally.

Securing the future: Resilient cities in the context of migration | Global Challenges, UiB

Title: Securing the future: Resilient cities in the context of migration

Researchers at SKOK: PhD candidate Anders Rubing and professor Randi Gressgård

Researcher at the Department of Social Anthropology, UiB: Professor Bjørn Inge Bertelsen

Project duration: 2019-

To arrive at a more specific understanding of how resilience-informed security assemblages shape global challenges, the project sets out to examine the production of urban security problematics in the context of migration. Empirically, it focuses on transnational networks where security challenges are shaped and circulated.

The project is particularly concerned with reconfigurations of gendered and racialized challenges, as well as new forms of ignorance.
