Dear colleagues,

*New Left Perspectives* and *Social Center "Xaspel,"* have the pleasure to
invite you to the conference *"Migrating in, migrating out: how to
(re)think 'migrants'' struggles"* that will take place on *May 8th* and *May
9th 2014* in *Sofia, Bulgaria*. The event is supported by* Rosa Luxemburg
Foundation, Belgrade*.

We are honoured to host *Vicki Squire*, University of Warwick, who will
deliver the keynote lecture and contribute to the discussions.

The goal of the conference is to bring critically together the phenomena of
outward and inward migration and to question the sharp distinctions between
what has been dubbed as 'political' and 'economic' migrants by weaving them
into one conceptual framework. Our starting position stems from the
understanding that we need to engage critically with dichotomies such as
inside/outside; political/economic migration, illegal/legal which have been
comfortably settled in mainstream research but also in political movements
throughout Europe. With this workshop we strive to venture beyond and to
visualize a framework that better explains the multifarious resistance
practices of "migrants" in late capitalism. Therefore, we bring together
academics and activists from several European countries to discuss these
issues as intertwined in the larger European political context. We will map
knowledges and strategies that go beyond the inside/outside dichotomy and
citizen/non-citizen divide in order to fortify our common political
efforts.

*Application for panels*: If you want to take part in the panels, please
send us a short (up to 250 words) abstract on the topic you would like to
engage with by 15th of April. The presentations should be no longer than 15
minutes. For the panels we welcome interventions based on critical
engagement with ethnographic materials, policy analysis or theoretical
concerns in the field of migration, citizenship, labour, social security
etc. The round tables are open to everybody's input and concerns.

*Funding*: Unfortunately, at this point we are not able to fund travel or
accommodation expenses. However, we might be able to suggest cheap lodging
or couchsurfing options, or provide minimal co-funding if funds remain
available. Get in touch with us by e-mail* by the 15th of April* if you
need support at [log in to unmask]

*Participation*: There is no participation fee and everyone is welcome to
join the roundtables and the discussions.

*Working languages*: The working language of the panels and roundtable will
be English. Keynote lecture will be given in English with translation into
Bulgarian. If individual participants need further translation into
Bulgaria during the panels, we will do our best to provide such. In
addition, we might be able to provide translation to Arabic and Farsi.
Please let us know well in advance in case you would need interpreting to
any of these languages, so that we will be able to organize it.
