Sussex Migration Graduate Conference

We are delighted to announce the Call for Papers for our upcoming international Migration Graduate Conference, taking place at the Sussex University on 26-27 April 2017.

The conference invites doctoral students at all stages from the UK and beyond across all disciplines to present their work on migration-related issues. Master students are also welcomed to submit their thesis and/or posters.

The conference provides an opportunity for fruitful exchanges between students and academics with panel discussions guided by experienced experts in the field to offer valuable advice and feedback. The two-day format sets a great frame to meet people from different and similar disciplines connected through their interest and engagement in migration-related processes.

Transnational fields
Diaspora
Integration
Migration policy processes
