Introduction: Knowledge and migrancy

Movements of migration have changed the face of educational institutions over the past two decades. At the same time the production, transmission and dissemination of knowledge has undergone tremendous transformations due to technological changes and the various implications of a shift from material to immaterial and formal to informal production.

SUMMIT is going to address the theme of "knowledge and migrancy" in various ways: There will be a specific track on the issues of organizing and learning which tries to elaborate the links between migrant struggles, precarious labor, deregulated knowledge and (self-)organization.

Beyond that the following questions might be discussed and articulated in the drafting process of the declaration:

How does migration affect canonised knowledge? Can we conceive of a non-linear projection of learning? Whom do notions of fluidity and precarity serve? How do emergent subjectivities, produced out of current mobilities, produce newly situated knowledges?
