15TH ETMU CONFERENCE: VULNERABILITY, RESILIENCE AND RESISTANCE IN DIVERSE SOCIETIES<\/strong><\/p>\n

15-16th November 2018
\n\u00c5bo Akademi University, Turku, Finland<\/p>\n

We invite workshops proposals for the 15th ETMU Conference: Vulnerability, Resilience and Resistance in Diverse Societies.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Conference rationale:<\/strong><\/p>\n

The conference\u2019s goal is to reflect on the meanings, effects and resistances towards vulnerability in the context of mobility, migration and minoritization. Vulnerability, understood as both a universal and constant aspect of everyday life and a particular predicament of differently resilient individuals, has recently become an important concept within migration and minority studies. Survivors of torture, undocumented children or victims of trafficking have been considered as particularly vulnerable, and legislation and societal structures have been considered as agents in the creation and mitigation of such vulnerabilities. However, the understanding of vulnerability as negativity that requires a resilience-building response from the society and state institutions has been criticised as yet another mode of governing individuals in a neoliberal society. In turn, this view has been juxtaposed with understandings of vulnerability as a condition that is productive of or constitutes a radical possibility for the creation of new identities and subjectivities.<\/p>\n

The confirmed keynote speakers are\u00a0Dr. Jenny Phillimore<\/strong>\u00a0(University of Birmingham, UK),\u00a0Dr. Julian Reid<\/strong>\u00a0(University of Lapland, Finland), and\u00a0Dr. Rebecca Stern\u00a0<\/strong>(Uppsala University, Sweden).<\/p>\n

Facebook event here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Call for Workshops is now open
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The organizing committee invites scholars from various disciplines to problematise and\/or challenge the concepts of vulnerability and resilience and reflect on both resistances and possibilities that they produce in diverse societies.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Proposals should contain the title of the workshop, the names and contact details of the convenor(s), and a short description of the workshop (not exceeding 500 words).<\/p>\n

We accept proposals for both “open workshops”, which will invite participants through the Call for Papers later this spring, and “closed workshops”, which present the work of specific research groups or networks. If you propose a closed workshop, also the names of the presenters and the preliminary presentation titles are required at the time of submission.<\/p>\n

Extended Call<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Please send workshop proposals to etmu2018@gmail.com<\/a> by 27th April 2018<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
