Graduate Students' Workshop on Migration
April 26-27, 2012

Bilkent Historical Society is pleased to announce its call for papers 
for the Migration Workshop to be held on April 26-27, 2012 at Bilkent 
University in Ankara, Turkey. The organizing committee is seeking 
graduate students from social sciences and humanities to submit 
proposals on any related topic to migration. This is an excellent 
opportunity for young scholars to present their research and gain 
insightful comments on their work.

We hope the conference will prompt discussion of diverse topics related 
to migration in American, European and Ottoman History. Some of the 
subjects scholars are encouraged to submit proposals on are, but not 
limited to:

*  assimilation
*  integration
*  (anti)racism
*  ethnic &national identities
*  causes of emigration
*  modes of settlement
*  fundamentalism & terror
*  immigration restriction
*  cultural exchange
*  transnationalism

Submissions for papers are welcome from graduate students at all levels. 
Please send a 300 word abstract and a one page CV to 
bilkenthistoricalsociety at gmail.com by March 1, 2012. There is no 
registration fee. Travel and accommodation grants may be available for 
selected participants.
