Dear colleagues,
The Istanbul Policy Center-Sabancý University-Stiftung Mercator Initiative would like to announce the Call for Papers for the “Young Scholars and Early Academics Conference” on “Migration, Social Transformation and Differential Inclusion in Turkey” which will take place on October 5-6, 2018 in Istanbul.
The conference aims to provide a discussion platform for scholars working on migration within the Turkish context to facilitate intersectional and interdisciplinary exchange and perspectives between scholars from different disciplines.
The conference invites papers around the following thematic fields:
* Critical theoretical perspectives on migration studies in Turkey
* Critical methodological approaches to migration research in and about Turkey, with an emphasis on research ethics in migration studies
* Refugee and migrant struggles and strategies around mobility, temporality, access, and differential inclusion; effects of gender, race, ethnicity, religion, class, sexuality, or other factors on migrant and refugee experience
* Inclusion, integration, and citizenship: thinking beyond the limits of citizenship; inclusion and integration as varying concepts; what does integration/ inclusion mean in the Turkish context; how the meaning of citizenship change for citizens affected by large migrant populations; everyday acts of citizenship
* Global and local implications of migration: migration and asylum politics and policies; state and local organizations’ responses; geopolitical ramifications of migration; international responses and local contexts; critical engagement beyond human rights
* Social responses to migration: resources, support, and solidarity networks; civil response and daily practices that (de)construct borders; neighborhood, space, and social transformations
* Vulnerabilities: how vulnerability is experienced, recreated, or extenuated; dealing with uncertainty; effects of migration on social relations
* Gendered aspects of migration: creation of gender-based vulnerabilities; gender dynamics in migration; gendered experiences of migration
* LGBTTIQ migration: (re)creating networks and forging new ties; persistent vulnerabilities; heteronormative concepts of identification, sexuality, and family at the intersection of migration processes and policies; migration and intersection with discourses on freedom of sexuality
* Economic ramifications: economic incorporation; precarious labor; informality; solidarities across status/citizen-migrant lines; economies built around humanitarian action; migration brokers
* Narratives of migration: reflections of migration and displacement in literature, art, theater, etc.
* Migration, media, and technologies: representations of migrants and refugees; the relationship between media and to social tensions; social media and technologies’ role in migration movements and refugees’ and migrants’ struggles
