Oxford Migration Studies Society Second Annual Migration Studies Conference: 'Changing Global Realities: Migration, Movements and Social Transformation'
16 - 17 May 2014
Dear All,
The Oxford Migration Studies Society will be hosting the second annual Migration Studies Conference on the 16th and 17th May 2014. The theme for this year, 'Changing Global Realities: Migration, Movements and Social Transformation', is centred on the questions: What is the role of migration in generating major social change? And how does this in turn impact migration processes?
Drawing on recent socio-political events around the world, this conference will focus on the role of migration in initiating, supporting, or constraining social transformations. The conference will facilitate regionally specific paper presentation workshops in order to examine events such as the large-scale demonstrations in Brazil and Turkey, the Arab up-risings, forced evictions and dislocations in Thailand. This student-led conference would like to invite students and academics to engage with this theme in an interdisciplinary and trans-disciplinary manner.
Call For Papers:
The Conference will hold four paper presentation workshops and we invite individual paper proposals from students, academics, policy-makers, and practitioners from all disciplines. If you wish to present a paper at the Conference please submit an abstract of 250 words to the organising committee ([log in to unmask]) with the subject heading "OMSS Conference Abstract' by February 7th 2014. Please also ensure that you have completed the online Conference Registration Form. We look forward to receiving your papers.
