Science & Cocktails og DR Koncerthuset er stolte af at præsentere en aften med den verdenskendte sociolog og geograf Hein de Haas. Han diskuterer globale migrationsmønstre, deres årsager og effekter samt effektiviteten af grænsekontroller. Inden da kan du opleve den elektroniske strygerduo Lueenas, og i baren kan du købe en rygende drink.
As debates on immigration have reached a fever pitch, so has political and media fearmongering. But what are the facts behind the headlines? Is global migration at an all-time high? What are the main changes in global migration patterns? What are the main driving forces of migration? Will climate change lead to mass migration? Why do border restrictions fail to stop migration?
Drawing on three decades of scientific research, migration expert Hein de Haas destroys the myths that politicians, interest groups, and media spread about immigration. Ultimately, de Haas shows migration not as a problem to be solved, nor as a solution to a problem, but as it really is.
Event held in English with the generous support of the Novo Nordisk Foundation.
Hein de Has (Bio)
Hein de Haas is a sociologist and geographer who has lived and worked in the Netherlands, Morocco, and the United Kingdom. He is currently a Professor of Sociology at the University of Amsterdam (UvA). Between 2006 and 2015, he was a founding member and co-director of the International Migration Institute (IMI) at the University of Oxford. He continues directing IMI from its current home at UvA. He is also a Professor of Migration and Development at the University of Maastricht.
In his work, de Haas has advanced a new, long-term view of migration as an intrinsic part of global change and development. He is the lead author of The Age of Migration: International Population Movements in the Modern World, a seminal textbook in the field of migration studies. His new book, How Migration Really Works: A Factful Guide to the Most Divisive Issue in Politics, was published by Penguin in November 2023 (US edition with Basic Books) and is coming out in nine translations.
Lueenas (Bio)
Since 2019, Lueenas has quickly established themselves as a fresh voice in the Danish film scene. They rebel against the idea of the composer as a solo genius and have, as the first in Denmark, created a "film score band" that insists on collaboration as a vital part of their composition process. This process involves thorough experimentation with the limits set by their stringed instruments and playing with the boundaries between acoustic, amplified, and electronic sound sources.
Their self-titled album, Lueenas, released in November 2022 on the Copenhagen label Barkhausen Recordings, is their first release made without a visual companion. Created over a year of improvised sessions and influenced by their involvement in other projects across pop, jazz, electronic, experimental, and post-classical music, Maria Jagd and Ida Duelund have crafted the unique soundscapes that make up their self-titled debut.
