This workshop aims at critically engaging with migration scholarship and at challenging dehistoricizing and depoliticizing discourses of 'migration crisis'. It sets out to develop collective reflections on mobility regimes and on migrants as political actors in relation to migration-related politics and beyond. It is particularly interested in migrants' struggles as connected to other realms of contentious political and economic activities and within broader historical contexts. It also wishes to explore the possibilities, tensions and limitations enacted by migrant solidarity and joint struggles, and their potential to efficiently contest dominant representations of migrants and mobility.

How new are those struggles? What do they mean for our understanding and practice of politics and the political? What possibilities for change do they open up, and what limitations may they face? Based on chapters by a range of academics and activists engaged in border and migration struggles, Challenging the Political Across Borders: Migrants’ and Solidarity Struggles examines the practices, structures, and meanings of solidarity with and by migrants and refugees in Europe and beyond. Bringing together empirical, conceptual and historical insights, the volume interrogates struggles unfolding on the ground and situates them within a critical analysis of historical and current mobility regimes, and how these have been resisted. This collection will be of interest to students and academics working on migration and social struggles, as well as to activists, volunteers and those interested in new forms of solidarity.

It is thorough, varied and accessible. The first chapter contains a historiography of women’s and gender history, and an overview of what has been published about women’s history in Cyprus, covering both the Turkish and Greek communities. The second chapter presents research on the language and content of curricula, textbooks and other teaching materials, done specifically by the writers for this project. The third and last chapter consists of eight concrete lesson plans covering themes dealing with women’s and gender history, developed by the writing team

Particular attention is paid to the negotiation of gendered/racialized narratives that have been central to the border-making practices of the European states and the place-making practices of newcomers. Departing from Levinas' work on intersubjectivity and Gilroy's conceptualization of conviviality, this article argues that convivial encounters that are not based on a shared history may need to be facilitated by community-building labor for intersubjective becoming to be rendered possible, and can be sustained through the unfolding of alterity rather than the recognition of commonality. The article also argues that ethnographical methods are well-suited to capture the factors and processes that feed into the making and unmaking of emerging subjectivities.
