“Society is made by all of us”
How is solidarity negotiated, made possible – or prevented? What kinds of infrastructure does it require? And how do solidaristic practices change society? These research questions are being studied by a research group called “Transforming Solidarities. Practices and Infrastructures in the Migration Society”, which is funded by the Berlin University Alliance (BUA). Researchers from various disciplines are working on the project in three fields – work, health, and housing – within the Social Cohesion research focus of the BUA’s Grand Challenge initiative.
Manuela Bojadžijev, Professor of Immigration from a Global Perspective at the Institute for European Ethnology and the Berlin Institute for Empirical Integration and Migration Research (BIM) at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin (HU), presents her work in the research group in the second installment of the HU series “The BUA and me – notes from the network of excellence.” She explains here how solidarity is connected to healthcare, climate change, and digital infrastructure, and what the “Solidarity Kiosk” is all about.
