Dear All,
Please see below for further details regarding the call:
Title: Immigration and Asylum
Convenor: Andrew Bateman
Group: Population Geography Research Group
Venue: Royal Geographical Society, London, 3 - 5 September 2003
www.rgs.org/ACLondon2003
Aim: To provide a balanced and evidence based discussion on asylum seeking
within the context of immigration as a whole.
Objectives: Part one of the module intends to discuss UK immigration and
asylum patterns, processes and responses, within a global and EU context.
Part two intends to discuss the cycle of asylum seeking from the
perspective of migrants coming to the UK. Specific issues may involve:
reasons for migrating, encounters with smuggling / trafficking, 'choice' of
destination, experiences of dispersal, responses to and from the media and
public, or repatriation to the country of origin.
Outcomes: This module has the potential to generate a great deal of
empirical, theoretical and methodological debate for academia, policy
makers, NGOs, migrants themselves, the media and the public. The module
also has its foundations in several of the plenary themes including:
Globalisation; Global London; New Europe and New Geography.
Format: The module is 2hrs 15 minutes in duration and will be structured
around two papers in part one, each lasting 30 minutes; and four papers in
part two, lasting 15 minutes each. This allows the speakers and audience 15
minutes for discussion at the end of the module.
Submission: If you would like to submit a paper for consideration, please
complete the following details by February 7th 2003 and send to Andrew
Bateman, by e-mail and Word attachment, at the following address:
