Missing Links - Missed Opportunities and Blind Spots between Global South and North

Panel

This panel discussion highlights geopolitical developments and failures in the relationship between the global South and North in times of advancing hyper-globalization, warlike conflicts over resources and land, and worldwide migration and flight movements.

Iranian-born multidisciplinary artist, musician and label operator Arya Zappa aka Maral Salmassi​​, the sociologist and political advisor Kenan Güngör, who researches integration, diversity and migration-related social change in Austria, as well as the migration researcher Judith Kohlenberger, an expert in the fields of refugee migration and integration and author of the book "Das Fluchtparadox" ("The Flight Paradox"), will discuss the topic. Together, they will clarify concepts and look for meaningful alliances and opportunities for the future. The panel discussion will be moderated by Julia Herrnböck, media scientist, editor at the investigative magazine Dossier and vice president of Reporters Without Borders.
