To commemorate the launch of the Witwatersrand-Oxford Mobility Governance Lab (MGL), we invite single or jointly authored abstracts for papers exploring one or more of the lab’s core research themes outlined below. Papers will be presented at an in-person writing workshop scheduled for either Johannesburg or Oxford as travel conditions allow.

Those interested in participating are requested to submit a 500-750 word abstract by 15 March 2022. The conference organisers will assess the abstracts and potential participants will be provided additional details in early April 2022. Those invited to participate in the workshop will be expected to distribute draft papers in August 2022.

As an interdisciplinary workshop, we welcome participants from across the social sciences working from all methodological and theoretical perspectives. We particularly encourage submissions from emerging scholars and people working in and on sites outside Europe and North America. Financial support will be available for those unable to finance their participation.

All abstracts and queries should be sent to:
info@mobilitygovernancelab.org
