submitting

> BANGLADESHIS IN BRITAIN:
> CHANGES AND CHOICES,
> CONFIGURATIONS AND PERSPECTIVES
>
> This multidisciplinary workshop will take place in London Guildhall
> University over 24th and 25th May 2002. It is being organised by a group
of
> researchers from different universities and subject areas who share a
> research interest in the Bangladeshi community. We plan to publish a
> collection of the papers as an edited volume.
>
> The largest Bangladeshi community outside Bangladesh resides in Britain,
and
> there has been a growing interest in the cultural, political and social
> dynamics at work within this group. This concern includes many researchers
> in the East End of London, where Bangladeshis form one of the most
> concentrated minority ethnic groups and where the overpowering presence of
> the City of London adds its own pressures for change. Across the UK and in
> various urban environments the growing settlement of Bangladeshis since
the
> 60's and the development of community institutions have also attracted the
> attention of researchers. Yet few research initiatives have been taken to
> link this plurality of configurations and perspectives.
>
> With the joint support of the Centre for Bangladeshi Studies (University
of
> Surrey, Roehampton), Queen Mary, Univeristy of London, London
> Guildhall University and the University of East London, this workshop will
> offer an opportunity for dialogue between researchers investigating the
> Bangladeshi community all over Britain in different fields of social
science
> - sociology, anthropology, geography, cultural studies, history and
politics
> The object of the conference is to shed new light on the articulation
> between socio-political structure and agency, as it is reflected in issues
> such as transnationalism, space, identity, religion and cultural
practices,
> community politics and interaction. The wide range of topics to be
discussed
> reflects the need to establish a comparative perspective between different
> places, social milieux and conceptual approaches.
>
> Participants will include:
> John Eade, Michael Keith and Anne Kershen
>
> If you would like to give a paper please submit an abstract (around 800
> words) together with a short professional biography by March 15th at the
> latest to [log in to unmask]
>
> If you would like to attend the workshop please could you book in advance
to
> give us an idea of numbers. There will be a small fee to cover the cost of
> lunch. (We will pay reasonable costs for those giving a paper.)
