Migrants, Identity and the City - One Day Conference
Regent’s American College London,
Inner Circle, Regent’s Park, London NW1 4NS
Friday, 24 September 2010
This conference, to be held at Regent's College, London, seeks to investigate the construction of power relations within the urban context through both theory and practice. We invite papers and posters exploring themes that fall within the following three streams: Identity and the City; Inequalities in Urban Areas; and Experiencing the City. The conference is open to everyone, and specifically aims to encourage participation by early career academics, as well as postgraduate students.
This interdisciplinary conference seeks to combine academic and policy work in the area of ‘migrants, identity and the city’. The morning will be dedicated to academic presentations, followed by lunch, where there is the opportunity for poster presentations. The afternoon is dedicated to speakers from local community organisations, the voluntary sector, and the policy-making arena, to encourage a debate between academic knowledge and policy and practice.
Invited Speakers include:
• Dr. Michael Seeraj Charlton Athletic Race and Equality Partnership (CARE)
• Dr. Sarah Crowther Refugees in Effective and Active Partnership (REAP)
• Simon Assaf, Journalist, Anti-Fascist League
• Representatives from local government, reflecting a range of political ideologies
• Representatives of local and transnational community organizations
Keynote Speaker: TBC
