migrations & identities
a journal of people and ideas in motion
ISSN 1753-9021(print) 1753-903X (online)
migrations & identities is a new journal published bi-annually by
Liverpool University Press. The title represents a programme: We aim to
interrogate notions of 'identity' while asking how the fact of mobility
and displacement does shape understandings of self and the wider world,
among both migrants and 'host' societies. By the same token, we seek to
understand how ideas and concepts are transformed as they 'migrate' from
one place and culture to another. These issues have been, and continue
to be, addressed under a number of rubrics and through a number of
approaches in the humanities and social sciences. In acknowledgement of
this, migrations & identities is multi- and interdisciplinary in its
conception and management. It also aims to cover the widest possible
range of places, periods and methods, subject only to a shared curiosity
and enthusiasm about the possibilities of working at the interface
between the investigation of the material conditions of migration
processes and the study of ideas and subjectivities. In particular, we
hope that scholars working in many fields will find in migrations &
identities a forum for discussion of the methods appropriate to a
project of linking observable experience and mentalities in different
times and places, and that among the topics of discussion will be the
real challenges involved in conversing across disciplinary boundaries.
We invite manuscripts from scholars representing all disciplines and
methodologies which can contribute to this discussion. These might
include case studies based on empirical research which are framed by and
reflect on the methodological and theoretical issues set out above,
essays which focus on questions of theory and methodology, or review
articles. The journal will be published twice a year.
