The Good, Bad, and Challenging Migrant: Contested Religious Identities in Postmigrant Societies Between New Turkey and New Tyrol (Postmigration Studies)

In post-migrant societies, belonging, identity and transnationality go far beyond inclusion and exclusion. Intersecting elements behind circulating conflicts and political narratives shape »the good, bad and challenging migrant«. Fatma Haron scrutinizes the impact of social remittances on the transnational identification process between new Tyrol and new Turkey. The empirical data is gathered through ethnographic fieldwork and semi structured narrative interviews analyzing the social, political, and cultural influence on identification processes between Turkey and Tyrol.

Fatma Haron (Dr.) obtained degrees in social sciences, international studies, peace and conflict research and European ethnology from several universities. Next to her interdisciplinary strength, Haron worked abroad in Ankara and participated at several international workshops, conferences and summer schools, and was a visiting researcher at SOAS London and held lectures at the Universität Wien and Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München. Her research areas are postmigration, migration studies, social remittances, identification processes and anti-Muslim racism. Since October 2023, Haron works at the Austrian Centre of Peace.
