We are delighted to announce the third and final symposium of the AHRC 
Research Network Partitions: What Are They Good For? This will be themed 
around Partition/Violence/Migration and will try to address the 
following questions:

In what ways is partition violence a form of transitional justice? What 
is violence’s relationship to democracy and citizenship in partitioned 
nation-states? In what ways is the violence of the social body a form of 
political language? How does partition violence reshape gender and 
sexuality in a new nation? What nuances can the intersection of the 
frameworks of trauma and partition bring to the study of violence? How 
can population transfers in partition be theorized? How do notions of 
migration interact with those of community? What is the relationship 
between pluralism and migration? How have partition migrations left 
ongoing transformative imprints at both regional and national levels? 
Examine partition violence/migration and economics.

Papers on any aspects related to the main topic are welcome. Please send 
a 250 word abstract to (partitions /at/ cardiff.ac.uk) and a brief biographical 
statement by February the 7th, 2015.

We have enjoyed your contributions to the network in the past and look 
forward to seeing you again. Please circulate to all interested parties.
Best wishes,
Radhika Mohanram and Anindya Raychaudhuri
((mohanramr1 /at/ cf.ac.uk) and (ar220 /at/ st-andrews.ac.uk))
