ANNOUNCING:
INTER-SECTIONS
http://intersections.wordpress.com/
a new blog on migration, past and present, in all its forms - refugee, diaspora,
exile, return, temporary, labour, tourist - and related issues of identity and
community organisation
Our mission: to provide a moderated forum for sharing ideas, impressions,
commentaries, reactions, and announcements from scholars alongside community
voices. Submissions to Inter-sections might include text, sound, images or
video and can be any length from one paragraph to a working paper (suggested
length: 1000-1500 words). The site is intended not as a peer-reviewed journal,
but as a community resource and space for dialogue.
For our inaugural edition, we are inviting Submissions that offer reflections on
and reactions to Recent Public Events on migration. Subjects might include:
