CFP Migration Studies Special Issues

Call for
Special Issue Proposals: Migration Studies. Deadline: October 1, 2021.

The journal Migration Studies is now accepting Special Issue proposals. Migration Studies is a peer-reviewed journal that publishes high-quality papers in the broad field of migration, including gender, policies, transnationalism, diaspora, integration, development, and other migration-related issues around the world. They favor proposals engaging with current scholarly debates in the theories and/or methodologies of migration studies. And they welcome proposals by scholars from the South and non-anglophone areas exploring innovative streams of research.

A maximum of eight papers are expected for the published Special Issue, including an introduction laying out the importance and timeliness of the key themes, debates, and questions addressed by the Special Issue, as well as an overview of the key findings of the collection of articles.

The Center for Intercultural Dialogue publishes a series of short briefs describing Key Concepts in Intercultural Dialogue. Different people, working in different countries and disciplines, use different vocabulary to describe their interests, yet these terms overlap. Our goal is to provide some of the assumptions and history attached to each concept for those unfamiliar with it. As there are other concepts you would like to see included, send an email to the series editor, Wendy Leeds-Hurwitz. If there are concepts you would like to prepare, provide a brief explanation of why you think the concept is central to the study of intercultural dialogue, and why you are the obvious person to write up that concept.

CFP Governance of Cultural Diversity (Italy but Online)

CFP Theories and Practices of Governance of Cultural Diversity Workshop, Scuola Normale Superiore, Italy, September 28, 2021 (held online). Deadline: September 4, 2021.

Over the past decades, the traditional distinction between national and international spheres has experienced great pressure as conventional state-centric practices and state-sponsored international governance have been challenged or replaced by new forms of governance. The rise of diverse non-state actors and institutional arrangements has profoundly changed the dynamics and outcomes of global politics. This Workshop Series aims to foster debate on a range of topics related to different transnational policy arenas (such as economy, international mobility, security, sustainability) as well as issues cutting across several policy domains (including questions around the legitimacy, accountability and effectiveness of transnational actors and structures). This event will bring together PhD candidates, postdoctoral researchers, and senior scholars from different strands of research, to discuss key analytical issues and empirical research in progress on multi-level global and regional politics of today.

KC19 Multiculturalism Translated into French

Continuing translations of Key Concepts in Intercultural Dialogue, today I am posting KC#19: Multiculturalism, which Polina Golovátina-Mora and Raúl Alberto Mora wrote for publication in English in 2014, and which Mohammed Guamguami has now translated into French.

As always, all Key Concepts are available as free PDFs; just click on the thumbnail to download. Lists of Key Concepts organized chronologically by publication date and number, alphabetically by concept, and by languages into which they have been translated, are available, as is a page of acknowledgments with the names of all authors, translators, and reviewers.

If you are interested in translating one of the Key Concepts, please contact me for approval first because dozens are currently in process. As always, if there is a concept you think should be written up as one of the Key Concepts, whether in English or any other language, propose it. If you are new to CID, please provide a brief resume. This opportunity is open to masters students and above, on the assumption that some familiarity with academic conventions generally, and discussion of intercultural dialogue specifically, are useful.
