migrations & identities
a journal of people and ideas in motion
ISSN 1753-9021(print) 1753-903X (online)
migrations & identities is a new journal published bi-annually by
Liverpool University Press. The title represents a programme: We aim to
interrogate notions of ‘identity’ while asking how the fact of mobility
and displacement does shape understandings of self and the wider world,
among both migrants and ‘host’ societies. By the same token, we seek to
understand how ideas and concepts are transformed as they ‘migrate’ from
one place and culture to another. These issues have been, and continue
to be, addressed under a number of rubrics and through a number of
approaches in the humanities and social sciences.
In acknowledgement of this, migrations & identities is multi- and
interdisciplinary in its conception and management. It also aims to
cover the widest possible range of places, periods and methods, subject
only to a shared curiosity and enthusiasm about the possibilities of
working at the interface between the investigation of the material
conditions of migration processes and the study of ideas and
subjectivities. In particular, we hope that scholars working in many
fields will find in migrations & identities a forum for discussion of
the methods appropriate to a project of linking observable experience
and mentalities in different times and places, and that among the topics
of discussion will be the real challenges involved in conversing across
disciplinary boundaries.
We invite manuscripts from scholars representing all disciplines and
methodologies which can contribute to this discussion. These might
include case studies based on empirical research which are framed by and
reflect on the methodological and theoretical issues set out above,
essays which focus on questions of theory and methodology, or review
articles.
