IMAJINE ESA

The 13th Conference of the European Sociological Association (ESA) under the title “(Un)Making Europe: Capitalism, Solidarities, Subjectivities” was organized in Athens, Greece between 29th of August and 1st of September 2017.

The IMAJINE researchers Apostolos G. Papadopoulos and Loukia – Maria Fratsea from the Athen’s Harokopio University presented a paper entitled:”Mobility and Social Justice: Theorizing migrant/refugee mobilities in crisis-stricken Greece”. The paper attempted to provide a bridge and link between the various facets of mobility (i.e. international migration/ internal migration/ refugee migration) with the concepts of territorial inequality and spatial justice. The aim of the paper was to discuss the concept of spatial justice in view of the recent migration/ refugee flows towards Europe and to touch upon the challenges posed in the design and implementation of migration policy in Europe.
