Call For Papers
We seek papers that will collectively showcase the broad interdisciplinary range of topics, methods, periods and geographies studied by scholars of human migration. Because of the diverse disciplinary locations of scholars studying various aspects of migration, it may be difficult to learn about related migration research, explore collaborative research opportunities, or engage in multi-disciplinary advocacy efforts. Papers should contribute to overcoming disciplinary and campus isolation by facilitating scholarly exchange. We welcome papers from SUNY and non-SUNY affiliated scholars. Papers should provide an overview of current research on immigration-related issues, including such topics as:
Papers may present ongoing, recent, or previous scholarly work. Papers do not have to have a clear connection to policy-making; the goal is to spark conversations and raise awareness about the scope of scholarship around migration across SUNY and nearby campuses. We encourage submissions from all areas, colleges, schools, centers, and disciplines within the SUNY system as well as from scholars outside the SUNY system who have topical or policy-related expertise. Paper presentations will be 10-20 minutes each (TBD based on number of participants).
Due to evolving health concerns, conference is postponed until Fall 2020.
Note: Presentation of a paper is not required for attendance.
