Session: The Social and Cultural Impact of Migration in China
2015 AAG Annual Meeting, Chicago, April 21-25
Organizer:
Youqin Huang (State University of New York, Albany)
Shenjing He (Sun Yat-Sen University, China)
China is in the midst of an urban revolution, with hundreds of
millions of migrants every year. Existing research on migration has
mostly focused on migrants themselves and their economic
strategies, while their family’s wellbeing, their identity, rights,
and citizenship remain under
researched. In this session, we hope to join the emerging research
shift from focusing on
migrants and their economic strategies to the non-economic impact of
their migration on people, especially their families (children and
parents), and places.
We welcome papers that address any issues related to the social and
cultural impact of migration. Topics may include but are not limited
to:
• Wellbeing of their children
• Wellbeing of their parents
• Wellbeing of migrants
• Rights and citizenship of migrants
• Identity of migrant children
• Identity of migrants
• Household formation and family life
• Cultural impact on the origin and destination
If you would like to participate in this session, please send an
abstract (max. 200 words) and
contact details including affiliation and e-mail address to Youqin
Huang ([log in to unmask])
or Shenjing He ([log in to unmask]) by October 15th 2014. All
accepted contributors will then need to register for the AAG
conference online at the AAG website by October 31st 2014 ahead of a
session proposal deadline of November, 5th 2014.
