Labor Migration in and from Eastern Europe

Ringvorlesung Institut für Slavistik und Osteuropastudien

Eastern, Central, and Southeast Europe offer a critical vantage point for under­standing the complexi­ties of migration, one of the defining forces of our time. Labor migration in and from this region has shaped economies, social structures, and poli­ti­cal debates across Europe and beyond. Yet these move­ments are often over­looked or oversimpli­fied in public discourse.
Since the nineteenth century, people have moved to, from, and within Eastern Europe in search of employ­ment and social mobi­lity. In many of the region’s cities and locali­ties, labor migration has trans­formed local economies, altered poli­tical dyna­mics, and reshaped everyday social life. In destin­ation countries, these movements have contri­buted to the formation of new diaspora communities and in­creasing­ly inter­connected labor markets. At the same time, migrants have built trans­national net­works and sustained cross-border cultural and economic ties that link work­places, house­holds, and communi­ties across Europe.

This lecture series explores labor migration in and from Eastern Europe, broadly conceived, from a wide range of discipli­nary and geographic perspec­tives. Across fourteen lectures, anthropo­logists, historians, socio­logists and scholars from related fields trace key themes in labor migration from the nineteenth century to the present. Topics include border regimes and the raciali­zation of migrants, precarity, infor­mality, and remittances, as well as return migration and gendered dimensions of care and domestic work.
