While immigration to Europe from third countries is highly restrictive and almost generally prohibited, qualified personnel is encouraged to immigrate. In Germany, for example, special immigration policies have recently been introduced for professionals, especially in the health care sector, to simplify their employment or search for employment. How do individuals experience and reflect on their immigration process under these conditions? What kinds of transnational networks are created between countries of origin and receiving countries? We would like to invite papers that address the effects of specific immigration policies on (groups of) individuals, by reconstructing their biographical experience, evaluation, and knowledge. Also invited are papers that address possible consequences of specific immigration policies for countries of origin as well as for receiving countries, based on the reconstruction of biographical evaluation of knowing (in)justice.
