[ecrea] JOMEC Journal Conference: The Meaning of Migration

The Meaning of Migration

A JOMEC Journal One-Day Conference

Cardiff University School of Journalism, Media and Cultural Studies

Thursday 17th April 2014

JOMEC Journal invites the submission of abstracts on the topic of 
migration, for a free one-day conference to be held during Easter recess 
2014, with a view to publishing a selection of papers in a special issue 
of the journal in winter 2014.

The conference seeks to bring together original scholarship exploring 
the meaning of migration from a variety of theoretical perspectives 
and/or methodological approaches. Research may be theoretically or 
empirically driven or both, and work traversing disciplinary boundaries 
is especially welcomed. A topic central to political agendas, featuring 
daily in national and global news headlines and positioned as of 
considerable consequence to publics within and across nation states 
around the world – liberal democratic and otherwise – the meaning, or 
social, cultural and political significance of migration has become of 
immense importance to scholars across a range of disciplinary fields.

Papers are invited which explore the meaning of migration through any of 
the suggested themes below, or, any other aspect of migration:

* Dominant or alternative media or political discourses on migration;
* Migration and neoliberalism or globalisation;
* Migration and questions of citizenship or belonging;
* Migration and cultural or legal norms;
* International convergence, or sharing of migration policy regimes;
* Securitisation, disciplinary techniques, surveillance technologies or 
border controls;
* Migrant testimonies and/or hidden or untold migration stories (e.g., 
of detention or deportation);
* Relationships between human rights and immigration systems or policies;
* Analyses of particular forms of migration in relation to any of the 
above themes (e.g., labour migration, family migration, student visas, 
asylum seeking and refugees, human trafficking, other forms of forced 
migration, internal displacement, emigration).

Abstracts and any other enquiries should be directed to Kerry Moore 
(moorek4 /at/ cardiff.ac.uk). The deadline for abstracts is Monday 2nd December 
2013.
