Bilkent Historical Society is pleased to announce its call for papers for the Migration Workshop to be held on April 26-27, 2012 at Bilkent University in Ankara, Turkey. The organizing committee is seeking graduate students from social sciences and humanities to submit proposals on any related topic to migration. This is an excellent opportunity for young scholars to present their research and gain insightful comments on their work.
We hope the conference will prompt discussion of diverse topics related to migration in American, European and Ottoman History. Some of the subjects scholars are encouraged to submit proposals on are, but not limited to:
- assimilation
- integration
- (anti)racism
- ethnic &national identities
- causes of emigration
- modes of settlement
- fundamentalism & terror
- immigration restriction
- cultural exchange
- transnationalism
Please send a 300 word abstract and a one page CV to bilkenthistoricalsociety@gmail.com by March 1, 2012.
There is no registration fee.
Travel and accommodation grants may be available for selected participants.
