Dear Friends,
MiReKoc with the collaboration of BMU welcomes all migration researchers
to the conference entitled "CRITICAL REFLECTIONS IN MIGRATION RESEARCH:
VIEWS FROM THE SOUTH AND THE EAST" at Koç University, Founders Hall on
07-09 October 2009. Please RSVP to the MiReKoc administration, if you
would like to attend this conference.
Sincerely yours,
biriz…
Agenda setting in research on international migration has been almost
completely in the hands of scholars and researchers in the receiving
countries of the North or the West. Although research on international
migration in the countries of the South and the East (namely, Eastern
Europe) has been characterized by a richness of descriptive material, it
is also marked by a relative lack of theoretical contributions. In other
words, there seems to be a hegemonic setting in which research areas and
questions are defined and formulated in the core countries, and then
presented and inserted to the agendas of the peripheries. This
phenomenon will be discussed particularly in the light of the recent
intensification of development of migration research in selected
countries of the South and the East, namely, Turkey, Morocco and Poland.
