Call for Papers • 22.03.2023International Conference „Fertility and Family Dynamics in Migrant and Minority Groups“
Abstracts for the international conference "Fertility and Family Dynamics in Migrant and Minority Groups: Current Research and New Approaches in Times of Crises" can be submitted until May 15, 2023. It will take place on October 12 – 13, 2023 in Wiesbaden, Germany. This thematic conference is a collaboration between the European Consortium for Sociological Research (ECSR), the European Association for Population Studies (EAPS), and the German Federal Institute for Population Research (BiB).
The conference invites international researchers in demography, sociology, and population geography as well as neighbouring disciplines dealing with the topic of fertility and family dynamics in migrant and minority groups from different perspectives and applying diverse analytical and theoretical approaches. We aim at a broad range of contributions covering patterns, causes, and consequences of having children and of forming a family, and dealing with the diversity within and between different migrant, ethnic, or religious minority groups and across migrant generations.
Submissions can cover all methodological and theoretical approaches and/or types of data. In the aftermath of the conference, we aim at compiling a special issue in an international peer-reviewed sociological/demographic journal based on the contributions presented. Therefore, we especially welcome the submission of new work in progress.
Conference Venue:
Federal Institute for Population Research/Federal Statistical Office, located in the city of Wiesbaden (Germany), with good access by train from the major European cities, or from Frankfurt International Airport. The event is planned as an in-person event.
