Neuchatel Graduate Conference of Migration and Mobility Studies. Call for Papers and Panels. 

University of Neuchatel 
13 – 14 September 2018 

There is growing international recognition of the importance of linkages between diaspora and diplomacy. Some governments view diaspora as a soft power resource that extends nation-state capacities – ministries, institutions, and programmes have been created to engage diaspora as agents of diplomatic and development goals. At the same time, there is discordance about the value and impact of such engagement and little shared knowledge about the diverse ways in which diaspora are actively shaping arenas of social, economic and political development. 

Co-directed by Professors Engin Isin and Kimberley Hutchings QMUL-LDS will involve 21 PhD research projects (2018-2023) concerned with how the world is being dynamically constituted by mobile people in active and novel ways and how this affects fundamental social and political institutions. Its aim is to generate theories, concepts, methods, and data that are necessary to understand mobility as a way of life – not as an exception but as an emerging norm. Current research demonstrates that developments in human mobility are interrelated with the ways in which they are studied, interpreted, documented, and managed.  Thus, thinking about mobility as a way of life entails reflexivity about the processes of producing knowledge about mobile lives in an increasingly mobile world: how we study, manage, govern, and imagine it.
