Migration und Integration sind untrennbar mit vielen grundlegenden sozialen und politischen Themen verbunden: Identität, Zugehörigkeit, Diskriminierung, Emanzipation, Vielfalt, Zusammenhalt, Solidarität, Verantwortung, soziale Ordnung und Sozialpolitik. Hans Blokland konzentriert sich auf die Wahrnehmungen und Erfahrungen von Flüchtlingen, Fachkräften, Ehrenamtlichen und politischen Entscheidungsträger*innen in einem Landkreis in Brandenburg und leitet daraus allgemeinere Erkenntnisse über Migration, Integration und die damit verbundenen Herausforderungen ab. Insgesamt zeichnet er ein eher beunruhigendes Bild, das die Krampfhaftigkeit und Ängstlichkeit der meisten westlichen Nationen im Umgang mit Migration widerspiegelt.

This book analyses the multifaceted ways law operates in the context of human mobility, as well as the ways in which human mobility affects law.

Migration law is conventionally understood as a tool to regulate human movement across borders, and to define the rights and limits related to this movement. But drawing upon the emergence and development of the discipline of mobility studies, this book pushes the idea of migration law towards a more general concept of mobility that encompass the various processes, effects, and consequences of movement in a globalized world. In this respect, the book pursues a shift in perspective on how law is understood. Drawing on the concepts of 'kinology' and 'kinopolitics' developed by Thomas Nail as well as 'mobility justice' developed by Mimi Sheller, the book considers movement and motion as a constructive force behind political and social systems; and hence stability that needs to be explained and justified. Tracing the processes through which static forms, such as state, citizenship, or border, are constructed and how they partake in production of differential mobility, the book challenges the conventional understanding of migration law. More specifically, and in revealing its contingent and unstable nature, the book reveals how human mobility is itself constitutive of law.

This interdisciplinary book will appeal to those working in the areas of migration and refugee law, citizenship studies, mobility studies, legal theory, and sociolegal studies.

"Assessment of Online Learners offers essential foundations, insights, and real-world examples for pre-service teachers preparing to assess students in today's digitized classrooms. When aligned with intended curricula and best practices, assessment not only informs but enhances both instruction and student achievement, though the recent large-scale adaptation of face-to-face learning to online platforms has yielded new challenges and responsibilities for teachers. This book explores shifts in the research and practice of assessment in online environments, the reconceptualization of course content and assessment frameworks in teacher education, the collection of fair and accurate assessment evidence reflecting students' virtual learning, and more. Drawing from experienced Canadian instructors who overcame the inherent technological obstacles, these chapters showcase how unprecedented changes in schooling can lead to pedagogical renewal, program reevaluation, and a broader understanding of instruction and assessment practices"--
