Call for Proposals:

Abstract Submission Deadline: 22 February 2013

Irrespective of the causes of migration, there are a combination of
factors that may play out differently for men and women at every stage 
of the migration cycle. While in many cases migration can improve the
conditions of women’s life by providing more income and social status, 
in other cases - especially if they are irregular migrants - they may 
also face abuse and discrimination. Approaches that link theory, policy 
and practice are needed in the global policy agenda to address the 
gender equality concerns in the migration context. This international 
conference invites expert contributions on the following areas:

     - Transnationalism, diasporas and gender
     - Gender and labour migration
     - Gender-based violence and forced migration
     - Migration and gender in the media
     - Healthcare and migrant women
     - Gender and migrant family relations
     - Gendered experiences in Turkish migration


The conference is organised by the London Centre for Social Studies
(LCSS) in collaboration with the Gender Institute at the London School 
of Economics and Political Science (LSE), the Centre for Migration 
Policy Research at Swansea University, and the Department of Sociology 
at Marmara University.

The decision process for the contributions will include two steps: in
the first instance abstracts (up to 350 words) will be reviewed by the
conference committee and those invited for the second step will be
asked to submit a full proceedings paper (up to 4000 words). All papers 
invited for the final programme will be published in the conference 
proceedings and will also be considered for a potential edited book that 
will be compiled by the organisers after the meeting. Formal meetings 
will be followed with a social programme and relevant site visits 
organised by the host institutions.

Dates: 11-13 May 2013
Venue: Marmara University, Istanbul, Turkey
