California State Polytechnic University Pomona is holding an
international conference on "Why We Move: Economic, Environmental,
Cultural and Political Dimensions of International Migration." The event
will be held on our campus on April 13-14, 2007. The International
Center at Cal Poly Pomona is soliciting papers, panels, workshops, and
creative presentations on any topics related to the causes and
consequences of migration within and between countries. Possible topics
include the international flow of capital and labor, refugees and
populations in diaspora, cultural globalization, epidemiological and
environmental issues, and related themes. We seek contributions from
scholars of the humanities and social sciences, scientists, community
activists, artists, policy and business professionals, and development
workers. Sessions will run for 90 minutes; individual papers should be
15 to 20 minutes (followed by questions), panels about an hour and ten
minutes. Displays, interactive demonstrations, and book promotions are
welcome. We envision a discussion forum wrap-up as the final session on
Saturday.
