Migration has played a central role in constituting Europe and in facilitating European integration. Most Europeans have experiences of migration in their own family histories. Yet, across Europe, we see the term “migrant” employed in public discourse as code word for “foreigner” standing in opposition to “European.” In recent years, few issues have been more divisive and politicized in European politics than responses to the challenges of migration and refugees.
This one-day conference, featuring keynote speakers Jennifer Miller and William Walters, will illuminate the nexus between migration, identity and politics in Europe. Exploring historical and current cases drawing on disciplinary approaches from history, political science, anthropology, cultural studies, sociology, and geography, this international event will showcase new perspectives and approaches in European migration studies proposed by emerging scholars from Europe and North America.
This conference aims to build a network of emerging scholars engaged in cutting-edge research in the fields of migration and diaspora studies drawing on a variety of disciplinary and interdisciplinary perspectives. Advanced doctoral students, recent PhDs and post-doctoral fellows, and faculty at the rank of assistant professor or equivalent position (for 5 years or less) are encouraged to submit abstracts.Read more details about the call for proposals here.
This event is part of 2019 FPA Research Month.
