This event focuses on research and academic freedom. Specifically, it will be about the politics of ethnographic and medical research in Turkey. Against the backdrop of debates around rising authoritarianism in the country, we will discuss ethical and political dilemmas researchers face when conducting research with human subjects. We will highlight a non-profit research center supporting academics. Finally, we will reflect on the relationship between knowledge production and authoritarianism. The event will conclude with a 30-minute Q & A session.

In this moment of hyper-politicized border and migration issues, questions of representation are crucial. This roundtable of scholars, journalists, and practitioners will address the needs and challenges of producing stories about complex border issues along with the potential for different stories to effect real change. Our panelists are actively documenting, producing, circulating, and reflecting on migration stories through a range of media and will share from their own work, focusing especially on the contentious borderspaces of the southern U.S. and southern Europe. This discussion is organized by the Migrations initiative and co-sponsored by the East Asia Program, the Institute for European Studies, the Department of Sociology, Latin American and Caribbean Studies, and the School of Public Policy.
