As the emigration following the recent developments in North Africa has illustrated, European efforts to manage and control migration flows have come to occupy a contested position in the European public debate. The re-territorialisation of Europe and its neighbouring regions through non-arrival measures such as visa policies, carrier sanctions, readmission agreements, Frontex-operations and deportations of asylum seekers through the Dublin system has brought to the foreground a number of substantial normative and political issues. Philosophies of Migration: European Policies positions these and other issues in relation to debates concerning the legitimacy of border control, migrant rights to exit and enter countries, communal rights to exclude migrants, the scope of universal freedom as well as national and global responsibility for migrants and European populations. Featuring keynote speeches from internationally renowned capacities such as Matthew Gibney (University of Oxford), Jonathan Seglow (?), Sune Lægaard (University of Roskilde), Nils Holtug (University of Copenhagen) and others, the course offers a unique opportunity for Ph.D. students to engage in the normative and political issues arising in connection with European border and migration policies, as well as migration issues more generally.
