Towards RN35. Reflexivity in Migration Studies. Knowledge Production in Times of Contested Politics and Post-Colonial Dynamics

ESA’s Research Network 35 “Sociology of Migration” will hold its next midterm conference at the Technical University Berlin, 10-11 September 2020. Mirroring recent trends and debates in the field of migration studies, the conference will focus on the topic of reflexivity in migration research. The conference is organized in close cooperation with the newly founded IMISCOE Standing Committee on “Reflexive Migration Research” as well as with local organizers from TU Berlin, Cottbus University and the University of Neuchâtel.

We invite all interested scholars to submit proposals for single paper presentations or thematic sessions by 29 February 2020. We want to provide a platform for those who have already met at earlier conferences to continue our exchange, and at the same time invite other scholars to join our discussions. RN35 aims to have lively and focused debates at its midterm conferences. Hence, submissions that have a clear and strong link to the conference theme will be given priority. A detailed elaboration of the conference topic can be found in our extended Call for Papers under https://www.europeansociology.org/research-networks/rn35-sociology-migration.
