Published: 13 Oct 2016
The Forced Migration Review is seeking submissions of articles on the subject of resettlement. The FMR editors are looking for articles reflecting a diverse range of opinions and perspectives focusing on resettlement of refugees. The deadline for submissions is 10 October. For submission guidelines and information on how to submit, see the FMR call for submissions.
Dr. Robert Heynen and Dr. Emily van der Meulen are seeking submissions for publication in Histories of the Surveillance Society: Transnational Contexts. This book will be a collection of scholarship that seeks to further broaden and deepen these emerging historical perspectives, and to break new ground in thinking about how histories of surveillance have shaped modern social systems over the course of the 19th and 20th centuries. The approach of the volume is global, incorporating transnational perspectives and work from the global South. How has surveillance shaped the emergence of modern mass industrial societies, capitalism, and colonialism? What role have new media and information technologies played in this process? In what ways are various people and populations differentially targeted by and implicated in these surveillance practices? Submissions drawing on critical literature engaging with gender, race and racialization, labour, disability, sexuality, and class are particularly encouraged. Interested contributors should send a 300-400 word abstract and 100 word bio by 10 November. Notification of abstract acceptance will be 15 December and completed 6,000-8,000 word chapter drafts will be due by 1 July 2017.
The Refugee Law Initiative (RLI) seeks new proposals for its working papers series, especially new research based on Masters’ theses pertaining to refugee issues (including the current crises in Europe and elsewhere). RLI Working Papers are prominently displayed on the RLI website and disseminated as a resource for scholars and practitioners worldwide. Papers published in the series may subsequently be published in journals or books provided that the RLI Working Paper Series is acknowledged. The criteria and procedure for submission can be found online. Submissions are accepted on a rolling basis.
