Call for abstracts: PhD colloquium on ethnicity and migration

The Eastern Arc universities have a strong research interest in migration and broader areas of race, ethnicity and decolonisation. UEA has a strong Migration Research Network; Essex a thriving Centre for Migration Studies; and Kent has just established a signature research theme in Movement and Migration.

We are working to build on these strengths and develop further links between these centres. Some collaborations already exist, such as the annual PhD Colloquium on Ethnicity and Migration. This was disrupted during the pandemic, but we are delighted to announce the fourth annual event.

The colloquium will take place in June, and the organisers (The ESRC Research Centre on Micro-Social Change (MiSoC), Essex Centre for Migration Studies, UEA Migration Network and Sussex Centre for Migration Research) are now inviting PhD research students to submit their abstracts for presentation.

Further details are available in this flier (pdf). To be considered, please submit a 500-word abstractthat states your research question, methods and results to Joonghyun Kwak at joonghyun.kwak@essex.ac.uk by Monday 4 April 2022.
