Eurac Research, Bozen/Bolzano (Italy)
Eurac Research’s Summer School on Human Rights, Minorities and Diversity Governance is an interdisciplinary, two-week program for all those interested in minority rights and diversity governance. The 2020 edition explores the theme of “Linguistic and religious diversity” by examining the challenge and opportunities of diversity through theoretical and empirical perspectives from Europe, Asia and the Americas. In seminars and workshops led by international experts, participants will critically engage with topics including religion and gender, radicalization, multilingualism, language and intercultural competences, and minority protection mechanisms in Europe and beyond. Field trips in South Tyrol will provide opportunities to gain first-hand experience of local approaches to minority protection and diversity governance.

Call for Papers: Writing International Student Migration in Africa
13 – 15 July 2020
Nairobi, Kenya
African students are the most mobile students in the world – 5.8 per cent of African students enrolled in higher education undertook study outside of their home country (Kritz 2015). Despite this, international student migration (ISM) in Africa has received limited attention. This workshop seeks to bring together emerging knowledge on international student migration in Africa and is an opportunity for early career African scholars to develop their academic writing skills to enable them to publish in international English language journals.
Deadline for paper applications: March 31st 2020
