CfP: International Conference on Transnational Migration and Family Processes in Greater China and Beyond (Hong Kong)
This conference aims to facilitate discussion between scholars from sociology, anthropology, geography as well as neighbouring research disciplines who work on various types of transnational migration and family processes in Greater China. Papers focusing on Hong Kong, Taiwan, Macau, mainland China and overseas Chinese societies are particularly welcome. The expected contributions could cover the following research themes with a focus on the interplay between time, space and migration:
- Life transitions and transnational family migration
- Intergenerational family relations within transnational families
- Comparative cross-generational analysis
- Transnational migration, gender and life course
- Children in transnational family migration
- Transnational migratory trajectories
The conference will run over two days in a single stream. It will take the form of a small, focused, highly interactive research workshop rather than a conventional conference, with discussants assigned and paper pre-circulated to participants.
