CONFERENCE- Caucasus Studies in the Fields of Migration, Society, Language,

progress.

Papers will be organized into thematic panels, such as:

 - Armed conflicts and migration
 - Migration and maintenance of cultural identities
 - Language policy and migration
 - Languages in contact
 - Transitional identities
 - Caucasian diasporas
 - Intrastate conflicts and conflict resolution
