For a full programme, please visit the IMISCOE-website.
Our Keynote speakers, Biao Xiang, Professor of Social Anthropology, and Anna Triandafyllidou, Professor of Sociology, will reflect on researching in, for and with migrants during the pandemic and what the current crisis means for our research field.
CFP: IMISCOE 17th Annual Conference: Crossing Borders, connecting cultures (Luxembourg) - Open to upload your paper/panel/workshop proposal (30 June - 2 July 2020).
This conference proposes to zoom deeper into people’s migration experiences by foregrounding how migration is connected to culture. We will explore the nexus of migration and culture in more depth asking how migration is lived, experienced, mediated, and reflected through everyday cultural and artistic practice. Thereby we seek to deepen our understanding of the complexity and diversity of migration experiences on the one hand, and the possibilities of connecting different migrant experiences and groups of people on the other.
Information
You can submit either one individual paper, panel or workshop proposal (all sessions will each be assigned 90 minutes) for a double-blind review, using the links on the website.
Submission deadline is December 1, 2019
