On July 13th at 6pm, this semesters’ second ENLIGHT lecture will be hosted and livestreamed online. This session explores the importance of equity in society ranging from migration and politics of integration over diversity in the schoolbooks to global citizenship education.
This lecture includes four presentations from experts on the topic from within the ENLIGHT network. Sorana Toma, Assistant Professor in Migration and Refugee Studies based at Ghent University will discuss “The role of migrant social capital in international migration”. As next, Daniel Schumann, research associate and PhD candidate at the Diversity Research Institute at University of Göttingen will present on “Seeing like a state? The politics of integration in civic education textbooks”. Then Janne Holmén, Associate Professor in the History of Education at Uppsala University will talk about "Diagrams of unity and diversity in civic education textbooks". Kristína Rankovová, a PhD student at Faculty of Social and Economic Sciences at Comenius University in Bratislava will reflect on “Are All 'Global Citizens' Equal? A Critical Analysis of Global Citizenship Education's Discourses of Distance”. The lecture concludes with a short discussion, the audience is invited to post the questions in the chat.

Networking event after the lecture for researchers from ENLIGHT universities
Each lecture is followed by a networking event for the scientific community. In the brand-new virtual space, the researchers from ENLIGHT universities can not only continue the discussion on the lecture`s topic but also use the opportunity to identify common research interests. This event serves as a platform for developing new ideas for future cooperation within the network. The ENLIGHT team supports this process by providing insights on funding opportunities. Researchers from all stages are more than welcome to join in! Please register here.
