Economic migration will be discussed from different angles by academics and professionals in a comfortable short time period. Experts from academia, professionals and politicians from the respective fields (e.g. Prof. Stark, Ms. Pratt and Ms. Albayrak) will inform you on the current trends, issues, debates in international migration. The purpose is not only to provide an opportunity to quickly and conveniently increase your knowledge on migration, but also to have a practical exchange of experience of professionals, as well as build networks between academics and professionals.

Globalization processes have a large impact on people&#8217;s everyday lives. Even in the most remote parts of the world, people and locations are being connected to each other. This interconnectedness can be seen as the core feature of globalization. In turn, people respond to new challenges and opportunities offered by globalization. Their daily actions produce, transform and determine the specific directions that globalization processes may take.<\/p>\n<p>The last decade, anthropology and other social sciences have produced an impressive body of literature on globalization. Globalization from a gender perspective, however, is still an exciting and innovative area to explore. Gender and feminist anthropology is a discipline par excellence that can make understandable how globalization and everyday life are interrelated, especially through its ethnographical methodology. Feminist scholarship has shown that globalization is not a gender-neutral phenomenon. Globalization has different outcomes for women and men. It challenges them in different ways and offers them different opportunities. Gender constructions shape globalization processes, which in turn confirm, construct and change gender notions. These developments result in profound changes in family life, family composition, cultural expressions, gender relations, and the way people interact with each other.<\/p>\n<p>With this conference LOVA wishes to create a forum for anthropologists, social scientists and other experts who study the interweaving of gender and globalization from an ethnographical perspective. How do women and men understand globalization and how do they experience globalization processes in their everyday lives? What are the challenges they face and what opportunities open up to them? How does globalization confirm and reconstruct existing gender and other social inequalities? Does it have a potential for the empowerment of women and men and their social mobility or not? How does globalization influence constructions of femininity and masculinity and how do these constructions in turn give direction to processes of globalization? And, last but not least, is globalization still a useful theoretical concept or have we entered a new, post-globalization era and are we in need of new conceptualizations? Participation and registration<\/p>\n<p>LOVA invites social science scholars to participate in this international conference by presenting their research in an individual paper or panel. We particularly encourage participants to submit audio-visuals and other alternative ways of presenting their research.<\/p>\n<p>Participants may register through sending individual paper or panel proposals to LOVAnetwork@hotmail.com before February 1, 2008.<\/p>\n<p>Visit our <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lovanetwerk.nl\">LOVA&#8217;s website<\/a> for more information<\/p>\n<p>LOVA is the Netherlands Association for Gender and Feminist Anthropology and provides a professional network for its members since 1979.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/org.uib.no\/imer\/img\/border_gray.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n<h5><a id=\"5\" name=\"5\"><\/a>(\u00c5BO AKADEMI UNIVERSITY) : call for sessions and papers:<\/h5>\n<h3>19th Nordic Conference in Sociology of Religion<\/h3>\n<p><strong>&#8220;Urban Diversity and Religious Traditions&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<table border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"3\" cellpadding=\"3\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td align=\"right\" width=\"51\"><strong>Time:<\/strong><\/td>\n<td align=\"left\">13-15 August 2008<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td align=\"right\"><strong>Place:<\/strong><\/td>\n<td align=\"left\">\u00c5bo Akademi University, Turku\/\u00c5bo, Finland<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><strong>Deadlines: <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Call for sessions, deadline December 15th, 2007<br \/>\nCall for papers, deadline April 30th, 2008<\/p>\n<p>The theme of the conference is religion in a contemporary urban setting.<br \/>\nHow are religious traditions and practices influenced by the<br \/>\ncontemporary city, and what is the role of religion in the late modern<br \/>\n&#8220;cityscape&#8221;?

Multicultural societies raise crucial challenges for traditional conceptions of nations and citizenship. Ethnic diversity can mean that significant numbers of people are excluded from national projects, while the &#8216;melting pot&#8217; metaphor belies the complexities of societies in which minority communities seek to protect their heritages and resist incorporation into the nation or state.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, conceptions of citizenship appear to be undergoing transformation. Civic engagement and participation is frequently viewed as being more effective in achieving social change than traditional forms of political representation. Levels of both civic and political participation vary significantly across ethnic communities, while political institutions are required to adjust to accommodate marginalised communities more effectively into democratic processes.<\/p>\n<p>At the international level, the sovereignty of the nation state has been increasingly challenged in the name of protecting or asserting universal human rights. Regimes, deemed oppressive by powerful external actors, have been subjected to sanctions or military intervention. The question of national citizenship, with its attendant rights and obligations, is being reframed in the light of new expectations. The implications of this process for the future of states and their citizens remain unclear, but they appear to encourage the erosion of national sovereignty in favour of participation at both sub-national and international levels.<\/p>\n<p>Confirmed speakers:<\/p>\n<p>* Professor Lord Bhikhu Parekh, Labour Member of the House of Lords and Professor of Political Philosophy, University of Westminster * Professor Nick Emler, Professor of Psychology, University of Surrey<\/p>\n<p>As in previous CRONEM conferences, there will be ample opportunities for papers to be presented in parallel panel sessions and for poster presentations. Panel proposals (including a general introduction panel of about 300 words, plus 300-word abstracts of each of the papers) and proposals for individual papers and posters (300-word abstracts) are invited on any aspect of nationalism, ethnicity or citizenship, particularly those addressing the following themes:<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7 Conceptualising citizenship in ethnically diverse societies<br \/>\n\u00b7 Comparisons of old and new forms of citizenship<br \/>\n\u00b7 Political versus civic engagement and participation<br \/>\n\u00b7 Incorporating marginalised groups into democratic processes<br \/>\n\u00b7 The concepts of intercultural, multicultural and cosmopolitan citizenship<br \/>\n\u00b7 Citizenship and religion<br \/>\n\u00b7 Citizenship and migrants<br \/>\n\u00b7 The role of civic\/citizenship education in multicultural societies<br \/>\n\u00b7 National citizenship and universal human rights<br \/>\n\u00b7 Ethnic conflict regulation and the roles of international actors In addition, there will be a roundtable discussion in which experts from<br \/>\ndifferent disciplines will address a common problem from the perspectives of<br \/>\ntheir own disciplinary backgrounds.<\/p>\n<p>Please send your submissions to <a href=\"mailto:m.dumic@surrey.ac.uk\">Mirela Dumic<\/a><br \/>\n<strong>Deadline for submissions: 1st February 2008<\/strong><br \/>\nNotification of acceptance will be sent to presenters by 3rd March 2008.<br \/>\nRegistration details will follow soon.
