EASA 2016 in Milan, Italy

In 2016, the ANTHROMOB network had its most active year ever in terms of conference panels and paper presentations. All convenors together participated in a rigorous vetting, editing and peer reviewing process of mobility-themed panel proposals during the conference. This resulted in 13 submitted panels and laboratories, 9 of which were finally accepted by the scientific committee to take place in Milan. The Milan panels comprised the following:

P030 Mobilities – ethnographically connected. Beyond the ‘gap’ between internal and transnational migration

P048 Moving beyond the colonial? North-South mobility, power and post-colonial encounters

P064 Mobility, Precarity, and the Activation of Kinship and Intimacy
