CALL FOR PAPERS
DEADLINE: 14 JANUARY 2005
SEEKING REFUGE, SEEKING RIGHTS, SEEKING A FUTURE
3rd Annual International Forced Migration Student Conference
13-14 May 2005, Oxford Brookes University, Oxford (UK)
Recognising the growing national and international interest in the
refugee phenomenon, reflected in the increasing number of students
working in the field of Forced Migration, the 3rd annual Forced
Migration Student Conference will bring together students working in a
range of disciplines to discuss issues related to their work with the
aim of developing further a postgraduate student based forum on forced
migration and asylum.
Following the success of the previous two conferences (Oxford 2003 and
Warwick 2004) this event, hosted by the Development and Forced Migration
Research Unit (DFM) at Oxford Brookes University, will follow a similar
ethos; entirely coordinated by students seeking to provide a relaxed and
supportive environment in which postgraduates can meet, present and
share their research and their experience.
All post-graduate students (MA/MSc/MPhil/PhD, etc.) studying any aspect
of forced migration are invited to submit abstracts for papers, posters
or other inputs they wish to share.
We particularly welcome abstracts on the following themes:
- Matters of belonging: anthropology of refugeeness, life histories and
refugee voices
- Forced migration and development; international law, human rights,
conflicts and violence; return and reconstruction
- New Europe: trends in policy and practice for asylum and refugee
integration
- Social networks, mobilizing resources and civil society
- Reconstructing cultural assets: literature, drama, performing arts,
music, graphic arts etc.
Gender perspectives and methodological issues of research sensitivity
and ethics are significant cross cutting themes throughout all these
topics.
We invite postgraduate students to submit an abstract no longer than 200
words along with a brief personal profile (max 150 words) to
[log in to unmask] by Friday 14th January 2005.
