Almost a month ago, I experienced a situation of violence on the part of the company where I worked, the SURT Foundation (Fundación SURT). Before writing this text, I have spent much time thinking about the necessity and importance of making this act of violence public. After all, as many ex-colleagues of the Foundation say “It happens everywhere”, thus, from such understanding we could also say that many of the problems and injustices that we live day by day happen everywhere, then why talk about it if it is already normalized?

Hace aproximadamente un mes viví una situación de violencia por parte de la empresa donde trabajaba, la “Fundación SURT”. He pensado mucho, antes de escribir este texto acerca de la necesidad y pertinencia de hacerlo y darlo a conocer. Después de todo, como dicen muchas excompañeras de la fundación “pasa en todos lados“ y entonces desde esa lectura también podríamos decir que como muchos de los problemas e injusticias que vivimos día a día pasan en todas partes, pues para qué vamos a hablar si ya está normalizado…

Max Planck Institute, Gottingen
Exploratory workshop organised by NordHOME
November 10-11, 2016, University of Turku, Finland
This workshop seeks to question understandings of Nordic and national identities that rely on notions of homogeneity and to critically examine their effects on the lives of migrants and minorities. Moreover, it aims to open up discussions of how new understandings of belonging and forms of participation can be created in/through research, politics, activism and everyday encounters (in digital environments, city spaces, welfare practices etc.). How do migrants and minority organizations create spaces for participation in local, national and transnational politics? What kinds of notions of belonging and participation are created in policies, institutional practices and civil society mobilisations? How are power relations based on race, ethnicity, gender, class and sexuality negotiated in institutional encounters and social movement activities? How do discourses of societal security shape understandings of belonging and participation in the Nordic societies?
