In the Frame? Public and Political Discourses of Migration

Public and political discourses on the matter of inward and outward
migration are of crucial importance, as they are responsible for
framing the issue, and for how, when, and where these issues arrive on
the public / political spectrum (Schain 2008, p.465). As a result such
discourses have substantial influence over the general public’s
attitudes towards migration (McLaren, 2001) and for migrant’s
self-image.

In this interdisciplinary conference, we particularly welcome papers
that address the following:
