Description
Transnationalism has become a useful lens for investigating processes of migration, mobility and social support. In recent years, efforts have been made to broaden the concept encouraging an examination of these issues from multiple and interdisciplinary points of view. The conference presents varied insights emerging from interdisciplinary empirical research and theoretical perspectives on mobility, migration and in particular social support in transnational contexts.
The Conference will take place on 2-3 March 2017 at Erbacher Hof Akademie & Tagungszentrum des Bistums Mainz Grebenstraße 24–26 55116 Mainz (Germany)
Topics include:
- Discourse perspectives on transnational NGOs and Africa
- Higher education, the labour market and care in the context of migration
- Social encounters and relationships in transnational and local spaces
- Bodies in virtual and physical spaces of (non-)copresence
- Forms and dynamics of informal social support in transnational settings
