Refugees in Europe: a crisis of connection | Dace Dzenovska | TEDxRiga

In the age of mobility, more people are on the move than ever before. Yet many of those who are on the move — the illegal migrants, are dying at sea. Is keeping people in place the best solution to the crisis of migration? Dace Dzenovska wants to take you to a different place — a place of responsible connectedness — from which to think about migration and the current crisis in the Mediterranean. Dace Dzenovska teaches and practices social anthropology at the University of Oxford, UK. Her research focuses on nationalism, state building, and migration in post-socialist contexts. Beyond her immediate areas of expertise, she is concerned with the futures that we make through our actions in the present, as well as with our shared responsibility for these futures. Dace Dzenovska turned to an academic career in anthropology after becoming disillusioned with development work as a development professional with the United Nations. She received her doctoral degree in social cultural anthropology from the University of California, Berkeley, CA, where she wrote a dissertation on post-socialist democratization and tolerance promotion—now a book manuscript called “Complicit Becoming: Tolerance Work and Europeanization After Socialism.” She has also authored multiple articles in internationally renowned journals, as well as a book on post-EU enlargement outmigration. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at http://ted.com/tedx
