SSHA Deadline Extension for Conference Submissions

Caroline Waldron (she/they) Discussion

 

The Programming Committee of the SSHA has extended the deadline for CFPs to Friday, March 17th for the annual conference, this year from November 16-19 in Washington DC.

Please find attached the CFP for the Migration/Immigration Network and please spread the word to anyone interested in migration!--

The theme of this year's SSHA conference is: "Pursuits of Wellbeing."

In keeping with the theme, we welcome panels that engage with questions and topics such as the following:

*What are the dynamic processes that influence economic and/or social development for migrants and how does this shape their well-being (environment, children’s health, etc.)?

*How is individual or national well-being affected by inequality, either between persons or between nations?

*How have families historically played a role in fostering or supporting migrant and migrant communities’ well-being?

*How have migrants (migrant medical professionals) shaped the health industries of their new states and home countries?

*How have migrants historically and presently shaped healthcare and medicine?

*Foodways and migrant health
*Urban spaces, rural spaces and migrant wellbeing/access to healthcare
*Transnational migrant healthcare regimes
*Border closings and ruptures and the impact on migrant health
*Refugees, war, and mental health
*Child migration and adoption
*Gender and sexuality
*Migration regulation and surveillance
*Violence, repression, and mobility
*Pandemics and mobility
*Temporary migrations
*Roots
*Places and practices of belonging
*Webs as sources for migration studies
*Missionaries, faith, and migration
*Mobility and the making of regional identities
