Dear all
The ESSHC is one of the most important venues for migration researchers. The
next ESSHC will be held in Vienna in 2014.

<http://esshc.socialhistory.org/news/call-papers>
Registration for ESSHC 2014 is now open.
The deadline for pre-registration is 15 may 2013. To go directly to the

Ethnicity and Migration is the largest network at the ESSHC. There were over 40
sessions and 160 papers on migration and ethnicity at the last two conferences
(Ghent 2010 and Glasgow 2012).
We invite you to submit ideas for a session or an abstract for a paper.
A session consists of four speakers, a chair and a commentator. The chair and
the commentator can be the same person. The speakers are not to come from the
same institute (best also not from the same country).
In the past organisers of sessions have successfully used H-migration for
finding additional speakers, chairs and commentators.
We have a preference for the submission of complete sessions, but authors can
also submit individual papers. We as network chairs will do our best to
allocate them to sessions. It may not always be a perfect match.
Below please find some themes and questions that arose during the last network
meeting in Glasgow. We would definitely welcome sessions and individual papers
fitting in with these themes. We are going to encourage that the best sessions
will lead to publications.
Your contribution might not fit into these areas, or cover very different
ground. We will still consider them, since the ESSHC sessions are always open
to new and exciting research and themes..
We are looking forward to your ideas and hope that with your participation the
ESSHC 2014 will be as successful as the previous one.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact us.

Suggestions for sessions:
+ The Other Europeans. Migrations to and from eastern and central Europe in
modern times
+ Forgotten makers of migrations.
Scholarly texts have for a very long time focused mainly on migrants and to a
lesser extent states as primary forces determining migration patterns and
volumes. We do however know that many other actors take part in the migration
process and sometimes greatly contribute to its forms and patterns, be they
churches, private companies, unions, and private actors providing means or
resources to migrants for various reasons. The fact however has never really
been theorized or historicized.
+ Defining the migrants
In any given context, deciding who is and who is not a migrant is a very
demanding task. For various reasons a lot of people who cross border are not
defined as such, but are called visitors, or tourists or students, or
merchants, or expatriates, or illegal foreigners. The definition of these
categories, changing over time, promises to shed light on the way state
agencies and societies define and regulate the migration process.
+ Migrations and empires
Scholarship on migrations within imperial spaces tends to be divided along
national lines (ie French, English, Portuguese, Dutch). Comparing the different
experiences would be a first
+ Health and migrations in modern times
Migration control emerges quite often from the will to avoid the spread of
diseases and uses some of the same techniques. Also, representations of
migrants, quite often insist on them as plague carriers.
+ Transnational norms and migrations. An historical look
Historiography on migrations has been very nation and state centered, and
ignored attempt to define international norms for migrations that sometimes,
through very similar bilateral agreements, can be traced back to early modern
times .
+ Public discourses, Migrations and Ethnicity
Do debates have any effect on the regulation of migration? Do they aim to? Who
are the claim makers? Who sets the agenda?
+ Children and migrations
When and why did children become a separate category of migrants/
+ In defense of migrants
Anti-migrants feelings, and policies, have been flaring up in recent years but
they have also witnessed public manifestations of solidarity with targeted
migrant or ethnic groups and intense political activism emanating from
political actors defining the defense of migrants as an important part of their
political agenda. If xenophobic or anti-migrants manifestations and activism
has been well documented, the activities of their opponents has been generally
overlooked.
+ gender and migration
Studies which address gender seem to get stuck on the same issues: trafficking,
prostitution and exploitation. Furthermore, they tend address femininity and
women rather than making comparisons to masculinity and men.
+ selecting migrants
Much of migration policy today and in the past is based on the idea that it is
possible to select migrants.
Other issues we would like to see addressed:
- regulating migration: visa policies and migration control
- migration and religion
- migrant cinema
- migration and mobility
- immigration and emigration: two sides of the same coin
- migration and professional networks
