GHI Symposium – Contested Meanings of Migration Facilitation: Emigration Agents, Coyotes, and Human Traffickers
Posted: 4/14/2020 (Conference)
The German Historical Institute issued a call for papers for the annual academic and policy symposium, “Contested Meanings of Migration Facilitation: Emigration Agents, Coyotes, and Human Traffickers.” The symposium will explore migration facilitation as situated between securing borders, solidarity networks, and economic interests or needs. It brings together Germany-based professionals from the academic, cultural, activist, and policy sectors as well as colleagues the United States working in similar contexts. In order to address the complexities and contingencies of migration facilitation, the symposium seeks to make comparisons across time and space since the nineteenth century. To do this, they welcome proposals from a wide range of disciplines, including history, ethnic studies, migration studies, political science, sociology, and law.
