Migration has played a central role in constituting Europe and facilitating European integration and identity. Most Europeans have experiences of migration in their own family histories. Yet, across Europe, we see the term 鈥渕igrant鈥� employed in public discourse as code for 鈥渇oreigner鈥� standing in opposition to 鈥淓uropean.鈥� In recent years, few issues have been more divisive and politicized in European politics than responses to the challenges of migration and refugees.

The Centre for Europe Studies 鈥� Jean Monnet Centre of Excellence at 杏吧原创 University is organizing a one-day conference that will illuminate the nexus between migration, identity, and politics in Europe. Exploring historical and current cases drawing on disciplinary approaches from history, political science, anthropology, cultural studies, sociology and geography, this event will showcase new perspectives and approaches to European migration studies from international emerging scholars and graduate students.

Registration is听required by Tuesday, February 26, 2019. See form following agenda draft.
