Seed Money Project Fair
Seed Money projects are central to the work of the focus area. Accordingly, we are extremely happy about the many projects we have been able to support in the past 4 years. The funded initiatives were from many different faculties at Utrecht University, bringing together researchers with diverse expertise on the topic of migration.
To celebrate 4 years of successful initiatives and to inspire future seed money applicants we are organising this meeting. During the event various grantees from the past will introduce their projects. Among them, Onur Şahin, Zehra Çolak and Daudi van Veen, presenting their podcast Joy in Academia. Swantje Falcke will present the research project Do integration policies matter? A study of the effectiveness of integration policies for refugees’ labor market integration in the Netherlands. Valentina Di Stasio is going to present here data collection project Intersectional Stereotypes. Last but not least, Camille Creyghton used her seed money for a project with a historical perspective on migration, her project is called Cities of Exile: Transnational exchange among émigré intellectuals in Paris, Brussels, and London, 1830-1848.
The podcast Joy in Academia has been inspired by the Black Joy movement. The podcast highlights the ways in which racialized academics have overcome obstacles and found joy in academia. You can find their first episode via Apple podcasts or Spotify. Do integration policies matter? is a project by Swantje Falcke, Floris Peters and Meta van der Linden. The aim of the project is to identify the impact of integration policies on refugee labor market integration, first by building on the unique situation of Ukrainian refugees, and later by comparing cohorts subject to various policy conditions. Valentina Di Stasio collected data on the stereotypes that the Dutch public associates to several minority groups living in the Netherlands. The project Intersectional Stereotypes found strong evidence of an androcentric bias in stereotype content: namely, ethnic-group stereotypes more accurately reflect stereotypes of ethnic-minority men compared with ethnic-minority women. A paper based on these data was just published in Social Psychology Quarterly. Finally in Camille Creyghton's project Cities of Exile, she examines how diaspora politics and political idea formation by migrants in the early 19th century are shaped by local geographies of host cities. It hypotheses that transnational exchanges of political ideas and practices contributed in crucial ways to the formation of modern political thought and, especially, the revolutionary waves that swept Europe in 1830 and 1848.
If you are interested in applying for Seed Money yourself, and still have some questions about the current Seed Money Call you will have the opportunity to ask those in person during this event.
