CfP Online-Workshop Saving and Being Safe Away from “Home"
Online-Workshop 7-8 April 2022
A worldwide phenomenon, informal savings and insurance associations,
such as rotating savings
associations or self-help groups, are critical aspects of life in
diasporic settings. Especially in new
contexts, migrants resort to such informal associations which serve
economical, social, cultural, and
political functions. The availability of formal alternatives and
institutions has neither changed the
need nor damaged the popularity of these associations.
The workshop will explore two important questions related to these
informal institutions.
Please submit your proposal by 10AM CET, 3 January 2022. Please send a
300-word abstract with a
short, 50-word biographical blurb to Sophia Thubauville
