Periodic Reporting for period 1 - JUSMOVE (On Just Movement)

Okres sprawozdawczy: 2021-05-07 do 2024-05-06

Podsumowanie kontekstu i ogólnych celów projektu

JUSMOVE’s general scientific objectives were to build a new conceptual context,within which we both engage with salient moral reasoning,such as ethical considerations on human movement,as well as empirically assess the scope of movement within the contemporary technological context in which every mover(just as virtually any person who does not move and has customary access to digital devises and internet) leaves a digital footprint and has their data recorded and used by third parties.Within this context,JUSMOVE sets new grounds for a theory of movement,and widely disseminates its results beyond academia.The project proposed to and achieved to jointly invetigating the use of ‘big data’ in the contemporary age of digitalization,within the context of human movement,and tackled salient ethical concerns that derrives from it.JUSMOVE’s findings first highlights the need of awereness raising of the present‘dataified’world to all users of digital services (either they move or not) alongside problematising policy interventions affecting the most socially disadvantaged groups,to address the new ways in which gendered or more broadly intersectionally disadvanged groups risk further disempowerment and marginalisation (see Turculet 2023) in the age of the ‘technological revolution’;ii) developing more context-specific policy interventions and considering the interplay between all intersectionally salient aspects,such as the social position of the individuals and communities,to tackle the persistent social and gender inequalities affecting those on the move;in this sense,the main recommendation made by JUSMOVE is that research on human movement should be done at the level of sectors or industries:for instance,an IT professional moving and acquiring employment (and otherwise) rights elsewhere,will experience different kind of chellenges from say another moving withing the academic sector,an economic labor sector,within which many highly professionalised move,forced by extreme precarity and in the endemic situation of virtually lacking permanent employment positions affecting a growing number of academics (see Turculet 2022) in all stages of their careers;iii) acknowledging the intersectional configuration (i.e. the intertwined social and gender inequalities) of what is termed by many as hypermobility,including during the pandemic (eg periods in which most human movement was severily restricted) showcases the importance of further empirically and ethically investigating (see Turculet 2020) and iv)promoting equity-based and context-sensitive policies and interventions to prevent that movement takes place out of force or dire need is desirable.

Prace wykonane od początku projektu do końca okresu sprawozdawczego oraz najważniejsze dotychczasowe rezultaty

JUSMOVE was organized and executed across 7 interconnected Working Packages (WPs):Two WPs,WP7 ‘Management of the Action’ and WP5 ‘Communication and Dissemination’ have been the two WPs that planned,assessed,monitored and organized the actual execution of the action–for this reason,these WPs have lasted for the entire duration of the action (month 1-36).Hence,the project activities and results were continously disseminated,exploited and communicated a) primarily to academic audiences, b) secondarily to stakeholders,such as EU and UN,and to tertiary,c) to a wider general audience-through workshops,roundtable debates,seminars,lectures,magazin or podcast interventions,review and evaluation of reports issued by international organizations,social media releases,outreach activities,as well as,in invitations to Q&A sessions in public events,as a Director screening the Documentary film Academic_Puszi,which JUSMOVE reliesed during its reporting period,and screened in around two dozens occasions,in several European institutions/countries,as well as,in the roles of,inter alia,(invited) lecturer,speaker,keynote speaker,and main event organizer (WP5).The scientific part of the action is implemented in WP1,WP2,and WP3,with the delivery of all three proposed manuscripts,two which are published and third is forthcoming,and which have been discussed in academic panels,participated by peers,prior to their submission for publication.Moreover,WP2 also includes a secondment,supported by the secondary supervisor,an expert in the fellow’s field of scientific professioalization, during which the researcher has carried out focused training in Data Science and Data Visualization,which has enabled them to acquire new skills.WP4,the scientific WP concerned with spin off activities,also concluded successfully with the final international event of the action.And finally,WP6 involving the production and distribution of Academic_Puszi Documentary,which has been invited for screenings in several places across Europe,and as such,has had the widest,most diversified,level of impact.Overall,the objectives of the action were satisfactorily and amply delivered.

Innowacyjność oraz oczekiwany potencjalny wpływ (w tym dotychczasowe znaczenie społeczno-gospodarcze i szersze implikacje społeczne projektu)

JUSMOVE proposed and executed an innovative combination of integrative transversal approaches: interdisciplinarity (interfacing with several disciplines such as ethics,philosophy,data science,data visualization,normative and descriptive theory,sociology,antropology,communications,etnography and film);intersectional methodology (analysing the complex interplay among different levels of inequality,such as social,gender migrant or otherwise status or positionality,or other relevant types determinants,an approach that has been adopted in all project’s activities),intersectoral (engaging academics and filmmakers,whereby each is an industry of its own,as well as civil society,stakeholders,and organisations and experimental movement practitioners) and transnational (the research,its delivery and dissemination involved systematically several countries,reaching out,co-creating and collaborating alongside its activities,mainly within the EU,but also globally).Overall,through its activities,JUSMOVE has been a great opportunity for the researcher to gain new invaluable skills in new emerging fields of technology, with which there has been no traditional bridges and debates with the field of ethics and philosophy.Creating these new bridges between fields and sectors,through research,communication and dissemination is itself an advancement of the state of the art.Additionally,JUSMOVE has permitted the consolidation of networks through experience in interdisciplinary,international and intersectoral types of collaborations.Not least it has prepared the fellow to act as a Principle Investigator through systematic and hands on acquisition of project management,knowledge transfer and public science communication skills and know how as well as empowered the fellow to consider working in other fields alongside to or as an alternative to academia.JUSMOVE advanced the state of the art by creating an innovative and comprehensive approach for analysing and disseminating around the complex issue of human movement.It has also provided some insights for reframing human movement as it is traditionally framed by the filed of ethics of migration-rather problematising the new ways in which human movement takes place and it is regulated,via what may become new systemic digital determinants.When it comes to human movement,findings and insights generated by JUSMOVE,aiming at reducing social and gender disparities,provide support for policy or grassroot types of interventions as well as grounds for further academic discussion and theorization.
