Call for papers for the international conference on migration at Ca' Foscari University

30 June 2023

 

INTERDISCIPLINARY PERSPECTIVES ON INTERNATIONAL MIGRATION: POLICIES, GENDER, CITIES, IDENTITY, CLIMATE

Contemporary international migration is shaped by an ever-growing number of factors, from the impact of climate change to the increasing differentiation of labour flows, from the globalization of migration governance to the intensification of transnational diasporic networks. Not only have such dimensions created new migratory patterns and experiences but they have also given rise to a greater diversity of migrants in terms of age, gender, social class, provenance, etc.
Coordinated by migration experts from across different departments at Ca’ Foscari University, this conference will engage with current debates in migration studies through 5 thematic panels, the calls for which can be found below.
We invite contributions from any discipline, and in particular those that draw upon interdisciplinary approaches. Each panel will accept 4 contributions.
The main conference languages will be English, but each panel allows additional possibilities.

 

TOPICS OF THE PANELS
Panel 1: Migration and identity processes
Coordinated by Luis Beneduzi, Department of Linguistics and Comparative Cultural Studies

Panel 2: Controlling immigration in times of war and post-pandemic societies
Coordinated by Francesca Campomori, Department of Philosophy and Cultural Heritage

Panel 3: Gender, climate change and slow onset-emergencies
Coordinated by Sara De Vido, Department of Economics

Panel 4: Migration and expectations: seeing the future from the South
