CONF./CFP- Caucasus Studies in Migration, Society, Language, Malmoe, Nov. 28-30

Posted by: Karina Vamling <karina.vamling@mah.se>

The conference brings together researchers in Caucasus studies for a
discussion of current developments in the region. How are these
dynamics to be understood and explained from political,
anthropological, historical, linguistic and cultural perspectives? We
welcome multidisciplinary papers and also encourage presentation of
research in progress.

Papers will be organized into thematic panels, such as:

- Armed conflicts and migration
- Migration and maintenance of cultural identities
- Language policy and migration
- Languages in contact
- Transitional identities
- Caucasian diasporas
- Intrastate conflicts and conflict resolution
- Caucasus in regional and global politics
