CALL FOR PAPERS

The newly established Research Network 35 "Sociology of Migration"
within the European Sociological Association invites papers to be
presented during the 10th bi-annual ESA Conference to take place

The Research Network �Sociology of Migration� provides a
platform for all scholars who are dealing with questions of
immigration and emigration, integration and diversity within
Europe. The RN wants to offer a platform to further the
theoretical and methodological understanding of migration
processes and their impacts on societies. Comparative European
research, integration of different methodologies and
inter-disciplinarity are three major pillars on which the RN is
based.
