Deportation scholars and artists’ network (DEPONE) is a network for researchers and artists working on issues of deportation from and deportability in Finland. This network is open for all researchers and artists irrespective of their career stage, disciplinary background, or institution. The network aims to facilitate national and international collaboration among deportation scholars and artists across disciplines and institutions. In practical terms, it particularly enables coordination of relevant events, publications, projects, and advocacy initiatives.
The network was established by Eveliina Lyytinen (Migration Institute of Finland), Saara Pellander (Migration Institute of Finland), and Päivi Pirkkalainen (University of Jyväskylä) in 2019 as part of a collaborative project to write the first research-based anthology on deportations from Finland. In 2022, this open access anthology written in Finnish “Suomesta poistetut – näkökulmia karkotuksiin ja käännytyksiin” [Removed from Finland – perspectives on deportations and refusals of entry] was published by Vastapaino: http://doi.org/10.58181/VP9789517689960. The network has often organized a deportation-related workshop as part of ETMU conference each autumn.
