The editorial team of the journal Migration Politics warmly welcome paper proposals for our authors’ fellowship in residence programme. Migration Politics are seeking submissions from scholars conducting innovative and inspiring research on the politics involved in representing, controlling, and managing migration. Migration Politics want to promote work that dares to bring in new theoretical or conceptual angles to Migration Studies by engaging with wider theories and debates in political science, sociology, law and other disciplines.
Successful applicants will spend a one week intensive fellowship in residence period at the University of Amsterdam to develop their ideas into a manuscript ready for submission. Scholars taking part in the author fellowship residency programme are expected to submit their papers for review to the Migration Politics journal that offers rigorous, single-blind peer review and full open access without article processing charges (platinum open access).
Requirements
- The author residency programme is open to scholars with a PhD at all career stages as well as to PhD candidates.
- To increase the geographic spread of contributions in Migration Politics, three of the six 2023 fellowships will be reserved for African scholars; i.e. people who completed their undergraduate or graduate degrees at an institution based on the African continent and/or scholars currently employed at an institution based on the African continent can apply to qualify for these reserved fellowships.
Benefits
The residency covers:
– Six nights in a hotel in Amsterdam
– Costs of visa for those who need one to enter the Netherlands
– Round trip to Amsterdam (by train if the travel distance is less than 1500km)
– Two dinners, two lunches
The residency does not cover travel insurance, transportation from airport to and within Amsterdam, any additional hotel nights and the remaining lunches and dinners. Funding of accommodation and travel are conditional on the submission of a full draft paper one month before the start of the residency.
Application Procedure
The proposal (1,000-1,500 words) should contain:
- The core question/thesis of the paper
- The expected contribution to ongoing scholarly debates (explain which debates the paper connects to, citing relevant work and explain how it connects to these debates
- The methodological approach
- The empirical material. Please note: data collection should be completed before submitting a paper proposal to Migration Politics residency programme
- Preliminary findings
- References (these do not count towards the word limit)
