Monday, September 12 | 5:00PM - 6:30PM in 201 Philosophy Hall, UC Berkeley
As West Germans discussed “difference” after 1945, they sought out a self-consciously “Western” and liberal way to discuss difference. The talk examines different examples of how US social science on race shaped policies on migration in West Germany, including how invoking “Harlem” as a racialized space shaped urban housing policy for migrants in Germany, and how a theory of child development borrowed from US social science was used to justify new restrictions on child migration.
BIMI is organizing its Cultures and Communities Project showcase on May 4, Thursday from 11-1 pm at IGS library (109 Philosophy Hall).
