Conference - Migration, Ethnicity and Identity: Perspectives from the Celtic Nations

Bangor University, Bangor, Gwynedd, Wales
2 April 2012

Call for Papers

With few exceptions, migration, ethnicity and identity in Britain have been addressed in a predominantly Anglo-centric perspective, with the Celtic nations being largely neglected in academic enquiry or exclusively investigated as countries of emigration. This conference aims to bring together academic researchers and others to investigate commonalities and differences in the experiences of migrants and minorities in Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. The conference addresses migrants and ethnic groups in a broad sense, including both ‘foreign’ and ‘internal’ (within the UK) migrants together with ‘indigenous’ and/or ‘long-established’ ethnic and minority groups.  

The conference welcomes postgraduate students and researchers at any stage of their research, who are concerned with any discipline and historical period and are willing to deliver twenty-minute papers on any topic that could contribute to the discussion.

If you are interested in delivering a twenty-minute paper please submit a short abstract (200 words) and biographical statement (100 words) by no later than 1 March 2012 to Conference Organiser, Marco Giudici (hipa19@bangor.ac.uk) and Cai Parry-Jones (copc0b@bangor.ac.uk).
