We invite you to propose your paper and to circulate this Call among your colleagues and graduate students. Below you will find all contents and informations. best regards, Francesco Della Puppa (with Josè Mapril and Andrea Priori) PANEL: Banglascapes in Southern Europe: comparative perspectives F. Della Puppa1, J. Mapril2, A. Priori3 1Department of Sociology, Philosophy, Education Applied Psychology (FISPPA), University of Padova, Padova, Italy 2Center for research in Anthropology (CRIA), New University of Lisbon, Lisbon, Portugal 3Master Public Anthropology, University Roma Tre, Rome, Italy Short panel abstract Migrations from Bangladesh to Southern Europe have significantly grown in the past decades. This panel focuses on different aspects of the Bangladeshi diasporic experiences in Southern Europe, including the relationships with the country of origin and the different settlement countries. Long panel abstract In recent years, Bangladeshi migrations in Europe have significantly changed. If the UK continues to be one of the main destination, Southern European countries, such as Italy, Spain, Portugal and Greece have assumed a new role in European Bangladeshiscapes. As argued by several authors, Southern Europe is both a final destination, and a new scenario for making a living and an increasingly important hub for the Bengali diaspora and transnationalism linking Bangladeshi migrant communities in Europe and worldwide, and, sometimes, a stage in onward migration routes. Despite the crucial role and importance of Southern Europe for Bangladeshi transnational migrations, and a growing body of literature on the topic, there is still no comparative approach that looks at this segment of the Bangladeshi diasporic landscape. The objective of this panel is to bring together scholars who focus on different aspects of Bangladeshi migrations in Southern European countries, considering the relationship between emplacement, migration routes, incorporation trajectories, relationships with Bangladesh (economic, political, religious, etc.), ties with the UK and the different political and economic opportunity structures in different Mediterranean countries.
