The Age of Humanitarianism. Jewish and Other Global Migrations Between Empire and Decolonisation

The conference, which will take place from 7 to 8 December 2026 at the Dubnow Institute in Leipzig, Germany, will examine the interconnections and relationships among various humanitarian support and solidarity networks, including grassroots movements, traditional concepts of hospitality, and professional organisations that facilitate, support, and organise migration. It seeks to create a comparative approach to analyse how different cultures and regions respond to migration and the various support systems in place.
