Neuchâtel Graduate Conference 2023: Call for Contributions

University of Neuchâtel
11 – 12 July 2023

The Neuchâtel Graduate Conference is an international graduate conference organized by the nccr – on the move. It provides a stimulating environment in which doctoral and postdoctoral researchers from different universities and research institutions can exchange ideas, establish networks, attend targeted training, and initiate collaborative research.

Call for Contributions: Migration and Im/Mobility in Times of Entangled Crises: Concepts, Practices and Governance

The topic of this year’s Graduate Conference will be ‘Migration and Im/Mobility in Times of Entangled Crises: Concepts, Practices and Governance’.
We encourage researchers to explore the construction and the impact of past, current or future crises on the public perception, governance, and practices of migration and im/mobility, across different geographical and political contexts, and on different scales of social organization. We also invite contributions that explore the differential experiences of crises and critically engage with the concept of crisis itself, addressing what constitutes a crisis and for whom. We welcome contributions on this overarching topic from all related disciplines in migration and mobility studies, such as demography, economics, geography, law, political science, sociology, psychology, anthropology, as well as other relevant fields.

The deadline for submission is 28 February 2023. 

Contributions can take the form of papers or posters, and there is no participation fee. To encourage international participation, the nccr – on the move will provide funding opportunities that are specifically designed for international graduate students traveling from far or without mobility funding.
