CFP: Young people’s migration in Asia
International Workshop Series: The Emotions of Migration
Workshop 2
Young People’s Migration Within and Throughout Asia: Managing Emotions, Identities and Relationships
Date: 19 August 2014 to 20 August 2014
York Centre for Asian Research and the Children’s Studies Program (Department of Humanities) York University, Toronto Canada
Call for papers: Workshop 2 calls for empirical research papers – historical and contemporary- on children and young people’s emotional experiences of migration within and throughout Asia. Papers should focus on mixed feelings of (but not limited to) elation, loneliness, hope, frustration, confusion, relief, fear, freedom and disappointment in the migration process.
There is a preference for participant-centred research in South and Southeast Asia prioritizing the following themes:
- Migration for work and marriage in a historical context (especially in plantations and estates)
- Contemporary experiences of moving for work, marriage and school – managing mixed feelings
- Left Behind – adjusting to absence and creating and maintaining relationships
Submission and Funding: Please submit contact details and paper abstract (maximum of 300 words) by April 4th 2014 to Dr. Kabita Chakrabortry kabitac@yorku.ca.
Successful applicants will be notified by late-April and are required to send in a complete draft paper (6000 – 8000 words) by July 8, 2014. Partial or full funding will be granted to successful applicants. Participants are encouraged to seek alternate funds for travel from their home institutions

MA at Warwick University
We would like to recruit post graduates to our innovative MA Childhood in Society in the Centre for Education Studies at the University of Warwick
http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/fac/
This degree responds to significant developments and key theoretical debates in childhood studies. The course explores children’s lives and experiences in the social, economic, technological and global contexts of contemporary childhood. It addresses the challenges of an expanding programme of Children’s Services that requires new ways of working with children and their families.
The course allows students to plan their study to focus on national and international policy initiatives about children’s rights, learning and development. Childhood in Society has an inter-disciplinary perspective, including: sociology, psychology, anthropology, education, children’s literary studies, early childhood and social policy. This perspective means that students have the opportunity to study the various, sometimes competing, paradigms concerned with children’s voice and rights and engage in debate, analysis and critique of the current research-policy-to-practice contexts nationally and internationally.
We welcome international and home students from a wide range of cultures and backgrounds. The course is attractive to new graduates, practitioners and professionals in education and children’s services; child related NGOs and voluntary sector organisations and those hoping to build an academic career in childhood studies.
The course is taught full-time over one year and part-time over 2-5 years.
