We encourage scholars from various fields to submit papers addressing any aspect of 20th-century or 21st-century migration and its impact on identity, culture, and social change.
The Centre for Theology and Religious Studies at Lund University is pleased to announce the call for papers for the conference on migration and identity, which will be held on August 20-22, 2025, at Lund University in Lund, Sweden. The conference’s aim is to deepen our understanding of postmigrant societies in Europe through an exploration of parallels between migration experiences in the past and present by correlating the dynamics of migration in 20th-century Europe with those of the recent years.
We encourage scholars from various fields to submit papers addressing any aspect of 20th-century or 21st-century migration and its impact on identity, culture, and social change, including but not limited to the following subjects:
- negotiations and concealment of identity as a part of the migration process
- migration and urban transformation
- perceptions of migrants by the host societies
- dynamics of social inclusion and exclusion of the migrants in short and long time spans
- media and migration narratives
- migrations and identity in micro- and macro-perspective
- migrations in individual and collective memory
- global contexts of European migration
- methodological approaches to migration research
Please submit an abstract of up to 300 words and a short biography (one paragraph) to migrationpostmigrant@gmail.com by February 28, 2025, indicating if you would be in need of a travel grant (we will provide a number of such grants). All application materials must be submitted in English. Selected participants will be notified by March 31, 2025.
