Award statement:
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.
