Call for papers - Urban studies
The COVID-19 lockdown deprived citizens around the world of their mobility. This experience has inspired many citizens to rethink their mobility, to describe it less in terms of quantity – the speed and distance of their journeys – and more in terms of quality and freedom. The Urban Mobilities online publication will be advocating for a post-COVID urban mobility that is pluralistic and benefits all walks of life. It will do so by showcasing projects that question and challenge conventional mobility and its negociation in the public space.

Crossing Critical Boundaries
Race in the Marketplace (RIM) is an international multidisciplinary research network dedicated to innovatively advancing knowledge and critically understanding the role of race and how it intersects with class, gender, ethnicity, religion, sexuality and disability in global marketplaces. Building on our successful inaugural RIM Research Forum held in Washington D.C in spring 2017, we have decided to broaden the movement across the Atlantic and hold the second biannual RIM Research Forum in Paris (France) from June 25 to June 27, 2019. The broad objective of this second Forum is to continue the dialogue across domains, disciplines and geographical boundaries to contribute to an integrated understanding of race in markets.

Urban Studies and Practices Journal (JUSP), Special issue
Cities worldwide are major magnets for migrants. Urban environments shape migrants’ experiences in a new locale, whereas migrants contribute to increasing diversity of the city. Due to its extreme complexity and dynamic nature, the reality under the “migrant and the city” interconnection is rarely considered in theoretical accounts, empirical methodologies, or practical interventions in its full diversity. This special issue of the JUSP aims to harness the elusive reality of this interconnection by bridging both disciplinary and theory-practice gaps and inviting scholars and practitioners to share their reflections on the topic. In this issue, we are especially interested in creating a multifaceted account of integration (or assimilation, incorporation, acculturation) as one of the ways to talk about this interconnection.

Migrants in Global Metropolises
MAGMET research and doctoral seminar
L'objectif de ce séminaire consiste à articuler transformations urbaines, migration et mondialisation pour mieux comprendre la fabrication des villes-mondes plurielles, marquées par de très forts taux d’immigration et de part de population étrangère. Partant des pratiques et des représentations des différents acteurs sociaux, économiques et politiques qui produisent et vivent dans ces villes, il s’intéresse aux modalités d’incarnation socio-spatiales de la diversité, ainsi qu’à sa gestion. En pensant simultanément les connexions et les ancrages, en jouant systématiquement sur l’articulation des échelles, l’enjeu du séminaire est d’élaborer un cadre analytique théorique comparatif afin de réfléchir aux modes de transformation des métropoles plurielles, engagées dans des dynamiques de mondialisation, en fonction de leur insertion dans les réseaux globalisés, de leur taille démographique et de leurs héritages et contextes politiques.

Revisiting Southeast Asian international marriages
In the current context of economic crisis, international marriages and family-related migrations are becoming increasingly restricted in many developed countries in the Global North, whereas countries in the Global South are adopting measures to protect local women from the trafficking and sexual exploitation that may arise from international marriages. These regulations of the “marriage market” pose challenges to single men and women looking for partners of a different nationality and for bi-national couples pursuing a family-formation project. For those who successfully immigrated in the country of their partner, social incorporation and cohesive family life are the next challenges in line. To shed light on the multi-faceted life of marriage migrants in the current age of economic crisis and increased border controls, this edited volume will take a closer look at Southeast Asian international marriages. It will also attempt to capture the dynamics of the interaction among macro-, meso- and microsociological factors that shape migrants’ trajectories, while taking into account their subjectivities and agency.

International migration and temporalities in the Mediterranean (19th-20th centuries)
Le programme transversal MIMED (Lieux et territoires des migrations en Méditerranée, XIXe-XXIe siècle) de la Maison méditerranéenne des sciences de l’homme d’Aix-en-Provence organise du 10 au 12 avril 2013 un colloque international et interdisciplinaire sur la question des temporalités dans les processus migratoires en Méditerranée du XIXe au XXIe siècle. Tout en prenant en compte le contexte historique, deux niveaux de réflexion pourraient être privilégiés dans l’appréhension des temporalités de la migration : celui des séquences temporelles qui structurent le phénomène migratoire à un niveau macro, et celui des rapports au temps entretenus par les migrants, à l’échelle de l’individu, de la famille, ou du groupe. -

Urban renewal projects in Europe
The colloquium will try to highlight two issues about urban renewal projects, shared by all European countries. Who’s benefiting from urban projects? How is it possible to renew in a context of crisis? The first day will inquire both the place left to or/and taken by the citizens in urban projects, the targets of these projects and their social impacts. The second day will assess both the financial crisis impacts on governance, especially on the place of private and public sectors, and the environmental constraints to be taken into account in urban renewal. -

Populating: the elusive category of urban policies?
Le peuplement, entendu comme action, plus ou moins délibérée et formalisée, consistant à intervenir sur la répartition spatiale des groupes sociaux, fait figure d’enjeu saillant autant qu’insaisissable des politiques urbaines actuelles ou plus anciennes. L’objectif de ce colloque est de faire le bilan des connaissances internationales sur le sujet et d’identifier les chantiers de recherche en cours et à venir afin d’analyser la façon dont le peuplement est construit comme objectif et enjeu des politiques urbaines, dans des contextes sociaux, historiques et politiques distincts. Autrement dit, il s’agit d’appréhender le peuplement à la fois comme politique(s) et comme catégorie(s) d’action publique, en confrontant à travers ce prisme des travaux qui ne le sont pas habituellement, soit parce qu’ils portent sur des terrains et des époques éloignés, soit parce qu’ils sont issus de disciplines différentes (géographie, science politique, sociologie, urbanisme, histoire, etc.). -
Roma Migrants in the City : Practices and Policies
Call for papers for Géocarrefour (issue n°86, 2011)
Ces dernières années, les villes d’Europe occidentale ont été marquées par l’arrivée de nouvelles populations, originaires de l’Europe centrale ou des Balkans et appartenant aux minorités Rom. Ces personnes et ces groupes, souvent désignés comme « Roms migrants », ont une très forte visibilité dans l’espace public urbain. Ce numéro thématique de la revue Géocarrefour vise à explorer les différentes formes d’interaction entre les pratiques de ces migrants et les politiques liées à l’encadrement des déplacements et/ou à l’accueil des Roms migrants dans les villes européennes.
