Alasia Nuti



Postdoctoral Fellow

Resident at the Forschungskolleg Humanwissenschaften:
October 2015‒August 2016

Research topic at the Forschungskolleg Humanwissenschaften:
»Temporary labour migration and structural injustice«

Project outline:
Temporary labour migration (hereafter TLM) represents a major trend in contemporary globalized mass-migratory movements, which posits significant normative challenges. The majority of political theorists examining this migratory trend have focused on a particular (and infamous) instance of TLM, namely »guest worker programs«, by asking whether the exploitation suffered by those migrants that join these programs and the restrictions on their (political, social and economic) rights are justifiable from a liberal and democratic perspective. In my postdoctoral research, I aim to show that this way of approaching the (in)justice of the TLM phenomenon is misguided. Instead, to understand the injustice of TLM, I propose to endorse and elaborate on Iris M. Young’s conception of »structural injustice«, which has proved to be particularly suited to capturing the complex dynamics of injustice in our contemporary world. I hope to show how Young’s paradigm of injustice casts new light, especially on the condition of injustice in which temporary labour migrants within the EU who emigrate from new EU member states are positioned. (Alasia Nuti)

Funding of the stay:
»Justitia Amplificata. Rethinking Justice − Applied and Global«
