[ecrea] CfP Race, Power and Mobilities - ETMU Days

*Deadline for abstracts: August 31, 2017*

ETMU Days, October 26–27, 2017

University of Jyväskylä, Finland

Race, Power and Mobilities

*Call for Papers*

The 14th ETMU Days of 2017 will take place in Jyväskylä. This year’s 
theme “Race, Power, and Mobilities” hopes to break taboos around the 
word “race” with the intention of reclaiming it and drawing attention to 
processes of racialization, power, and movement as well as their 
intersections. On the one hand, in the Nordic countries previous studies 
on (im)migration and ethnicity, have mainly neglected or ignored 
questions of power. On the other hand, whiteness and critical race 
scholars have commonly analyzed power and racialization processes 
without foregrounding issues of mobilities. Therefore, we believe that 
in the study of migration and mobility there is an urgent need of 
scholarship that unites critical analyses of power and hierarchical 
structures with a focus on racialization.

The conference theme will be explored and illuminated by our invited 
keynote speakers:

-Kaarina Nikunen, University of Tampere, Finland

-Tobias Hübinette, Karlstad Universitet, Sweden

-Nando Sigona, University of Birmingham, UK

In addition, as another highlight of the 2017 ETMU Days, an invited 
panel organized in collaboration with the anti-racist RASTER research 
network will discuss practices and consequences of racialization.

We are now inviting abstracts for the working groups. The following 
working groups are included in the program (descriptions and contact
