Migration and divided societies - Special Issue of Ethnopolitics
Guest editors: Chris Gilligan, University of the West of Scotland; Susan Ball-Petsimeris, Université de Paris 8
We would like to invite articles on the theme of ‘migration and divided societies’ for publication in a forthcoming Special Issue of the journal Ethnopolitics. The Special Issue aims to critically examine the relationship between migration and social divisions which are conceptualised as ‘ethnic’ in popular discourse, academic writing or government policy.
Papers are welcome that raise questions related to concepts and practices of migration and segregation along 'ethnic' lines.
Submissions are welcome from researchers and practitioners at any stage in their career (from postgraduates to emeritus professors). Our main criteria for inclusion will be; relevance to the overall theme, quality of scholarship and originality.
All articles should be between 6000 and 8000 words in length and should use the Harvard style of referencing. All submitted articles will be peer reviewed by at least two different peer reviewers. (For a more detailed style guide to the journals 'house-style' see: http://www.ethnopolitics.org/ethnopolitics/styleguide.html ).
Articles should be submitted via email to Chris Gilligan (University of the West of Scotland, UK) at: chris.gilligan@uws.ac.uk to arrive by Tues 27th October 2009.
For a fuller outline of the rationale for the Special Issue and a guide to the kinds of questions we would like to address and the kinds of topics that we would consider for publication, see below.
Thanks in advance for your consideration,
Chris Gilligan, University of the West of Scotland, UK Susan Ball-Petsimeris, Université de Paris 8, France
