At the University of Oldenburg, the doctoral programme is institutionally linked to the Center for Migration, Education and Cultural Studies (CMC) (Director: Prof. Mecheril, Institute of Educational Sciences; Prof. Butler, Institute of English and American Studies, and Prof. Ellwanger, Institute of Material Culture, are members of the academic advisory board). The CMC is concerned with practices of differentiation and subject positions that are significant to migration society. It examines relations of difference and belonging in migration society and the effect of these relations on people's understanding of themselves and the world. The focus here is not only on the question of what power these relationships exert over individuals, but also on where and how subjects problematise, change and shift relationships of belonging and difference and give them a different meaning (cf. CMC). Under the umbrella of the CMC, academics from the Schools of Education and Social Sciences, Linguistics and Cultural Studies and Humanities and Social Sciences work together on interdisciplinary research projects in the subject area of the planned doctoral programme. With this institution, an ideal place for interdisciplinary exchange has already been established and will be further developed in terms of institutions, personnel and, above all, content through the projects within the programme.
