Virtual Conference: “Racialization and Immigration: How Immigrant and Immigration Narratives Reproduce and Challenge Systems of Oppression”
Posted: 8/19/2020 (Conference)
The organizers of “Racialization and Immigration: How Immigrant and Immigration Narratives Reproduce and Challenge Systems of Oppression” are inviting paper submissions for their virtual conference in December. The underlying goal of this conference is to highlight research on the social construction of immigrants and immigration that emphasizes racialization approaches and challenges assimilationist paradigms. The conference participants will contribute to the existing literature by complicating the racialization literature through intersectional frameworks, de-centering the state in these analyses, centering analyses on alternative narratives, expanding the focus of immigrant constructions beyond the mainstream media and the state and towards other institutions and groups, and examining under-studied research locales. Consequently, this conference should attract a broad and interdisciplinary audience of scholars of immigration, race and ethnicity, intersectionality, political sociology, and social movements.
Deadline: 09/25/2020
