The event will bring together senior researchers and PhD candidates to discuss ongoing research at the intersections of citizenship and migration studies, focusing on five thematic areas. These five thematic areas have been identified as areas where a citizenship lens on the links between migrant transnationalism and integration, appears to hold particular analytical promise:
The Research symposium and PhD course is an integrated 2,5-day event, including paper presentations with allocated discussants, plenary discussion, interactive sessions, and three key note lectures. The interactive sessions will focus on methods, including discussion on qualitative and quantitative data collection and analysis, available datasets, and on policy relevance in a time of polarized media debates on immigration. All participants’ papers will be grouped thematically, regardless of seniority level, but PhD candidates will also be offered supplementary time for feedback and discussion of papers and research-in-progress within the event program. The PhD course thus consists of three key note lectures, participation in a research symposium including senior scholars, interactive sessions, and detailed feedback on individual papers and projects.
Key note lectures by Marta Bivand Erdal, Per Mouritsen and Maarten Vink.
Abstracts of 200 words – engaging explicitly with the Research Symposium and PhD course theme, and one or more of the identified thematic areas – should be submitted by 30 June - via links below.
