CFP: The Invisible Within: Actors, Relationships and Activities in Chinese Migrant Families
15-16 November 2018 at the University of Central Lancashire, UK
Keynote by Professor Janet Carsten from the University of Edinburgh
Features the screening of two films: Nowhere to Call Home: A Tibetan in Beijing (Jocelyn Ford, 2014) Border People (Elena Barabantseva, 2018)
Using both individual and family as units of analysis, this workshop hopes to draw out the dynamic inside the family realm amongst its members and the interactions between family and the state and society in a global context. By including children and elders in this investigation, this workshop aims at analysing migration not only as a geographical movement but also how mobility intersects with temporality. By uncovering the =E2=80=9Cinvisible= =E2=80=9D relationships and activities of men, women, children and elders, this workshop will contribute to the rethinking of the concepts of nation, border, gender, family and time that are often taken for granted when investigating the complexities of transnational migration.

Deadline for full paper submission: 30th October 2018
