Interdepartmental Graduate Student Workshop on Migration
23 June 2015
Department of Politics and International Relations, University of Oxford
This one-day workshop aims to bring together Oxford DPhil students from
different departments (e.g. Politics & International Relations, Sociology, History,
Social Policy) and Sciences Po PhD students working on migration-related topics.
The study of migration is an inherently interdisciplinary field. The wider
network of young scholars within and across departments and universities this
workshop hopes to build offers a meeting place to exchange ideas, discuss
research challenges and findings and think about ways in which experiences can
be shared more regularly in the future. There is no particular theme for this
workshop, but research that engages with economic, social and political
remittances, the integration of immigrants into host societies, national and
international policy-making on migration, and the role of refugees and diasporas
is particularly welcome. The thematic focus of the workshop panels will be
developed on the basis of the submitted proposals. Oxford and Sciences-Po postdocs and faculty members will serve as discussants.
The workshop is funded by the OXPO Research Group, a cooperation between
the University of Oxford and Sciences Po (the travel and accommodation costs of
Sciences Po graduate students will be covered by OXPO). If you are interested in
presenting a paper based on your doctoral research, please contact Prof
Gwendolyn Sasse ([email protected]) with a one-paragraph
abstract by 20 April. If you want to attend the workshop without presenting a
paper please confirm by 1 May.
