Amrita Datta is a Marie Curie Fellow at the Department of Sociology, University of Siegen. Her project focuses on the transnational practices, motivations of immigration, and trends and prospects of the Indian immigrants in Germany including the latest entrants - Blue Card holders and Indian students in German universities. With the Covid-19 as the special lens, the project proposes to argue that the fast expanding Indian diaspora in Germany impacts the German social life at large and vice versa.

I am a Sociologist researching on migration. Presently, I am moderating a webinar series on covid and mobility called Corona Conversations: Mobility in a (post)Covid Future (https://gssc.uni-koeln.de/veranstaltungen/webinare/2020-corona-conversa…) hosted by the Global South Studies Centre, University of Cologne and supported by the DAAD.
My current interest is in future of migration from the perspective of transnational practices of Indian women migrants in Germany especially those migrating under EU Blue Card scheme and for higher education. Significant rise in their arrival is changing the social-cultural landscape in Germany as these young women are visible in German public spaces, white-collar employees, often bring their male dependent partners and effectively combine 'home-here' practices to invent homeland in Germany.

I am also interested in migration-covid interface from the perspective of how does post-covid truth shape the future of migration.
