The interdisciplinary Research Group MeDiMi studies the scope, forms, and consequences of the “humanrightization” of discursive practices in migration-related conflicts. It analyzes the manifold references to human rights in legal, political, and everyday contexts. On this empirical basis, MeDiMi aims to develop a practice theory of human rights in contemporary migration societies.
