Dr. Rotter visited the School of Advanced Studies as part of the BritInn Fellowship Program in February/ March 2023. Prof. Godela Weiss-Sussex and her team organized a hybrid "brown bag lunch" where she was allowed to present her research to interested students and colleagues. There, on the one hand, Ms. Rotter presented the results from her dissertation presentation completed in 2022. On the other hand, they discussed first ideas on her habilitation concept.
Dr. Rotters main goal during her stay was to conduct a study entitled "London postmigrant!?". For this purpose, she conducted biographical interviews with students who currently had their centre of life in London. They originally came from Brazil, Italy, Germany or the USA. The study is based on the postmigrant idea that emerged in German-speaking countries. “London postmigrant?!” is a vision that demands the recognition of the socio-historical and social normality of migration and that considers and recognizes the realities of life of migrants and their successor generations to be central. The focus is on those experiences that result specifically from the expertise with migration. The interviewees are both experts in terms of their own biographies and those experiences interwoven with migration.
