Hello,

We are pleased to announce a call for proposals for a
new interdisciplinary workshop to be held from August
8th to August 9th, 2016 at Sophia University (Yotsuya
Campus) in Tokyo, Japan. Please read below for more
information on the workshop and how to apply.

Workshop Name: “Contemporary Research on Issues in
Migration and Ethnic Integration”

Workshop Description: The purpose of this workshop is
to gather a diverse group of scholars of migration
and/or ethnic integration to discuss their research in
a supportive, yet critical space. Proposals are welcome
from scholars from all academic disciplines at all
career stages (graduate students, postdoctoral fellows,
independent scholars, junior faculty, and/or senior
faculty) with projects focused on any aspect of
migration and/or integration research at various stages
of completion (research proposals, dissertation
proposals, reviews of existing research, book chapters,
journal articles, etc.). Proposals will be selected
based on both relevance to the workshop theme and their
ability to complement other proposals during the
workshop. Selected proposals will be grouped
thematically and a special session will be devoted to
works in progress. Each presenter will have 30 minutes
to present their research and then 25 minutes of
questions and focused discussion on areas for
improvement or elaboration and possible research
overlaps between different presentations. All
presentations will be in English. The conference will
be held on Monday, August 8th 2016 and Tuesday, August
9th 2016 at Sophia University, Yotsuya Campus. After
the conference on Monday, all participants are invited
to continue conversation and networking at dinner
hosted by the conference organizers.

How to apply: Please send an E-mail to
tivory@indiana.edu with: 1) a CV or resume and 2) an
abstract of your intended presentation (maximum of 300
words) as separate attachments. The submission deadline
for all proposals is Friday May 20th, 2016. Proposals
will be selected by Wednesday June 15th, 2016 and all
participants should submit a draft of their work to the
organizers by Friday July 15th, 2016 to ensure enough
time for reading before the workshop.

Workshop Date: Monday, August 8th 2016 & Tuesday,
