Winner of IMISCOE's Call for book proposals - 2016

After a careful evaluation, the editorial committee selected the winner out of the 2016 IMISCOE’s call for book proposals: At the Edge of Solidarity: Securitization of the policies for ‘Roma’ and the deservingness of rights” edited by Tina Magazinni & Stefano Piemontese.

The book promotes a reflection and debate around the political and legal context of Romani migration within the EU and its impact on local policies. Roma migration emphasizes the existent gap between the rigid understanding of ethnicity embedded in the policies for ‘Roma’ on the one hand, the wide heterogeneity of national approaches towards ‘Roma diversity’ on the other hand, and Roma inner diversity itself. It presents a cross-disciplinary and wide-ranging collection of policy analysis, case studies, including experiences of social intervention, that offer an insight into the effects of the European legal and political framework on the life of ‘Roma migrants’ in western European countries.

The volume is expected to be published in 2017.


Call for Papers: 3CI PhD Summer School: Migration and Urban Change (12-16 July 2017) - deadline: 15 March, 2017 - 12:00 AM

The Center for Ethnic and Migration Studies (CIMIC) of the University of Liège is glad to welcome applications for the third edition of the IMISCOE 3CI PhD Summer School ‘Migration and Urban Change'. 


The third 3CI PhD Summer School Migration and Urban Change will focus on the link between migration (old and new, in and out) and urban change, specifically but not exclusively at the cultural and political level. The lectures will address different issues related to the theme of the Summer School. Furthermore, the Summer school will explicitly address two key issues for PhD students: (1) how to get published?; (2) Ethical Issues in Migration research. Finally, fieldwork will be organized in the neighborhoods of the city.

IMISCOE PhD Workshop on 28 June 2017 in Rotterdam (IMISCOE's 14th annual conference)

Following the success of the 2016  PhD Workshop, which took place during the 13th Annual IMISCOE conference in Prague, the next IMISCOE PhD Workshop will take place on 28 June 2017 during the 14th Annual IMISCOE Conference in Rotterdam. As was the case in Prague, the workshop will be organised in the morning of the first day of the conference, just before the official opening of the program.

In a survey conducted among members of the IMISCOE PhD Network, participants expressed great interest in the topics of “Getting Published”, “Research Funding”, and “Networking at academic conferences”. Due to the great demand the workshop on getting published will be held for all PhD students, while the workshops on research funding and networking will run in parallel. 

Further information on the exact schedule, the speakers and on how to register will be provided as soon as possible.
