Call for Papers

DEADLINE EXTENDED:  June 22, 2020

The CERC in Migration and Integration invites paper abstract submissions for its Migration Working Group series for 2020-2021. The series provides researchers with the opportunity to present their ongoing projects, learn about each other’s work and share feedback. 

Our Migration Working Group sessions will be held every last Tuesday of the month starting on 29 September 2020, and until May 2021.

We invite submissions of work in progress that you would like to present and discuss with an interdisciplinary group of scholars and graduate students. Please send to cerc.migration@torontomu.ca by June 22, 2020:

• a one-page paper abstract (approx. 400 words) outlining your research question, methodology and expected findings, and
• a 300-word biographical note.

You will be notified about the acceptance and scheduling of your paper by July 1, 2020.

We welcome papers with both quantitative and qualitative methodological approaches that relate to any of our thematic areas or that focus on issues of data and methodology.

We recognize the special circumstances that the COVID19 pandemic presents, and so will be flexible in accommodating remote participation should the situation warrant.  However, we encourage you to submit your proposal with the expectation that the Migration Working Group meetings will take place in person.
