Towards a political sociology of migration ethics
Migration and immigrant integration are highly politicized topics often associated with social and political conflicts. In order to find better ways to deal with the migratory phenomenon, we need to look beyond the reasons why people move. This lecture introduces a new research agenda, which seeks to inaugurate a political sociology of migration ethics. This new research agenda consists in identifying the ethical principles and normative dilemmas that lie at the heart of the controversies, analyzing why and how societal polarization over migration takes place, and assessing the implications of this polarization for democracy. Following such an approach can help us counter pernicious trends towards the political instrumentalization of migration and develop action-guiding input that can be helpful to policymakers and other actors in the migration field.
