Call for papers

Urban Studies and Practices Journal

welcomes papers for the Special issue on

Migrant and the City

Cities worldwide are major magnets for migrants. Urban environments shape
migrants’ experiences in a new locale, whereas migrants contribute to
increasing diversity of the city. Due to its extreme complexity and dynamic
nature, the reality under the “migrant and the city” interconnection is
rarely considered in theoretical accounts, empirical methodologies, or
 practical interventions in its full diversity. This special issue of the
JUSP aims to harness the elusive reality of this interconnection by
bridging both disciplinary and theory-practice gaps and inviting scholars
and practitioners to share their reflections on the topic. In this issue,
we are especially interested in creating a multifaceted account of
integration (or assimilation, incorporation, acculturation) as one of the
ways to talk about this interconnection. We welcome papers that reflect on
the following (and related) questions:


   1.

   How should the connections between migration and the city be accounted
   for today?
   2.

   How do cities change under the influence of migration and vice versa?
   What are the mechanisms of such transformations?
   3.

   How is incorporation of migrants influenced by various urban settings?
   Which urban (social, economic, etc) structures contribute to which modes of
   migrant incorporation?
   4.

   How should migrants in the city be studied? What are the methodological
   challenges involved, and the possible solutions we can strive for?
   5.

   How and in what directions can/should migrant incorporation be
   influenced? What measures (policies, city- and neighborhood-level programs,
   grassroots initiatives) have proven to be (in)effective?
