Call for Applications: In-Person Residency 2026 on “Migration Politics and Violence” (04/06/26)
Posted: 3/26/2026 (Conference)
The editorial team of Migration Politics is seeking innovative and original paper proposals for the in-person residency taking place at the University for Continuing Education Krems, Austria, from 28 September to 2 October 2026. We invite submissions from scholars at all career stages conducting inspiring empirical or conceptual research on topics related to “Migration Politics and Violence”. Migration politics and violence are increasingly intertwined in contemporary societies, manifesting through structural, political and community-level forms of coercion and exclusion. We invite contributions that analyze how these forms of violence are produced, experienced, and contested within migration politics, and that examine their political causes and consequences across different contexts. Submissions should offer theoretical or empirically grounded insights into the ways violence shapes migration governance, migrant lives, and broader political dynamics. In case of empirical papers, data collection must be completed prior to submitting a paper proposal to the Migration Politics Residency Programme.
