ANNOUNCING:
INTER-SECTIONS
intersections.wordpress.com
a new blog on migration, past and present, in all its forms -
refugee, diaspora, exile, return, temporary, labour, tourist - and
related issues of identity and community organisation
Our mission: to provide a moderated forum for sharing ideas,
impressions, commentaries, reactions, and announcements from scholars
alongside community voices. Submissions to Inter-sections might
include text, sound, images or video and can be any length from one
paragraph to a working paper (suggested length: 1000-1500 words). The
site is intended not as a peer-reviewed journal, but as a community
resource and space for dialogue.
For our inaugural edition, we are inviting Submissions that offer
reflections on and reactions to Recent Public Events on migration.
Subjects might include:
