Hans-L.-Zetterberg Prize 2023

27/11/2023

I am honored to have received this year's Hans-L.-Zetterberg Prize in Sociology at Uppsala University. The prize is awarded yearly to a sociologist under 40, “whose scholarly work, preferably by productively combining theory and practice, has shifted the forefront of research”. The award statement says:

"Emanuel Deutschmann is awarded the Prize for his contributions to the study of transnational migration, among others the development of a network-analytical approach to the study of the social dimension of regional integration in a global perspective, and for the work he has done to create an original open-access dataset on transnational mobility.

Dr. Deutschmann has published extensively in top academic journals in various social science disciplines, and has made a substantial contribution via his book Mapping the Transnational World – which was published by Princeton University Press in 2021. Undoubtedly influenced by his own transnational mobility, and the various visits to leading European and North American universities, Deutschmann’s scholarly contributions have not only left a mark in public debates, they have attracted the kind of media attention that spark a global conversation.

Thus, as a public intellectual, and because of the various contributions he has made to our understanding of how transnational migration is impacting our world, Deutschmann’s work aligns with the spirit of Hans L Zetterberg who also contributed to sociology in ways that enriched our imagination."

There is a video of the ceremony and my talk on "Transnational Mobility on Global-Comparative Perspective" on Uppsala University's website, a short interview with Oxford University's Sociology Department, and a press releases from the University of Flensburg and Uppsala University.

"Mapping the Transnational World" receives OLB Science Award

14/4/2019

On April 3, 2019, I was awarded the 1st prize of the OLB Science Award by the Oldenburgische Landesbank Foundation. The laudation was given by philosopher of science Professor Jürgen Mittelstraß in the Ehemalige Landtag in Oldenburg. I received the award for my dissertation "Mapping the Transnational World: Towards A Comparative Sociology of Regional Integration", which I had defended in October 2017 at the Bremen International Graduate School of Social Sciences. In this dissertation, I analyzed the worldwide network structure of various types of cross-border mobility and communication. More information about the award can be found in this press release by Jacobs University and this short report in local Bremen newspaper Weser-Kurier (in German).

The award was endowed with 5,000 Euros. I donated this sum to a non-profit organization that fights climate change, atmosfair.de. Atmosfair.de runs around 20 different projects in the Global South that help boost renewable energy and reduce CO₂ emissions. Positive "side effects" include the creation of jobs and health benefits for the local population. For example, they build solar energy plants in Ethiopia and Lesotho and hydropower plants in Honduras and Sri Lanka. A full list of projects and further information can be found here. With 5000 Euros, atmosfair.de can compensate 217 tons of CO₂, which is roughly equivalent to the annual emissions of 20 people in Germany. It can also, for instance, supply 272 Indian households with renewable energy.

Please consider donating as well. On atmosfair.de you can calculate how much CO₂ your desired donation will offset.

And get active and support movements like #FridaysForFuture and Ende Gelände. Global warming is the most severe problem of our time. There is no planet B!
