Call for Papers for an Academic Workshop:

The workshop has two major scholarly aims: to explore in depth the comparative dimension of diaspora mobilizations for a wide range of transitional justice processes; and to analyze how diasporas’ embeddedness in different global locations impacts on such mobilizations in local, national, and global politics. We are looking for papers from different world regions, featuring interdisciplinary perspectives, from established and early career scholars, and addressing issues of domestic and international politics.
