Third Cross-Institutional PhD Colloquium on Conceptual and Methodological Issues in Migration Research:
“Forced Migration”
17-18 June 2020
University of Essex
Call for Abstracts
The Essex Centre for Migration Studies, UEA Migration Network, and the Sussex Centre for Migration Research, invite PhD Research students to submit papers for the third Colloquium on Conceptual and Methodological Issues in Migration: “Forced Migration.”
The deadline for submission is 5 April 2020. Details on how to submit are below.
The aim of the two-day conference is to explore issues of forced migration by bringing various approaches together to forge a truly interdisciplinary understanding of forced migration. It will serve as a forum for stimulating academic exchange to emerging PGR scholars, allowing them to present and receive feedback on their research, network among each other and with more established academics, and gain insights into work on forced migration across the disciplines. Much of the most exciting research in this field is being conducted by emerging postgraduate scholars. Recognizing this, our three research centres are collaborating to bring together PGR students across the UK and beyond for a conference on Forced Migration on 17th -18th June 2020. We welcome research projects from all disciplines and using a variety of methodologies.
The two days will consist of a number of panels featuring presentations by PGR scholars and chaired by more established academics from across the social sciences, keynotes by two internationally renowned migration scholars, and a roundtable on academic publishing.
Keynote 1: Dominik Hangartner (ETH Zurich / LSE)
Keynote 2: Christian Joppke (University of Bern)
Roundtable Discussion: Academic Publishing The roundtable on academic publishing will allow PGR scholars to become more acquainted with the process of publishing their work. It will feature two renowned academics sharing their experiences with publishing, both from the perspective of researchers and editors, and will provide PGR scholars with room to ask questions on the topic.
Roundtable Participant: Yasemin Soysal (University of Essex)
Roundtable Participant: Kristian Skrede Gleditsch (University of Essex)
Together, they will be able to give PGR scholars valuable insights into publishing in a variety of forms and in different disciplines.
The organizers look forward to proposals linked with the general conference theme forced migration. More specifically, possible topics may include, but are not limited to, the following:
• Refugee and border regimes, governance, and control
• Asylum and Refugee Policies (Global, regional, national, local)
• Past, present and future movement flows: migrants, refugees, asylum seekers
• Climate and Forced Migration
• Internal Displacement
• Armed Conflict and Forced Migration
• Social, Political, Economic, and Civic Dimensions of Integration
