CfP: Conf, ‘Experiencing (in)securities’, Leeds University
This is a call for papers by the ‘Europe, Migration and the New Politics of (In)security’ research network team, a White Rose collaboration funded project.
*‘Experiencing (in)securities’*
*Friday 3 March 2017, University of Leeds*
Keynote speaker: Dr Nando Sigona, University of Birmingham, ‘Navigating the Central Mediterranean: experiences, discourses and responses’
This workshop builds from the premise that the experience of migration produces inherent vulnerabilities: from physically perilous journeys and exposure to exploitative criminality, to precarious living conditions and
desperate survival strategies.

*2017 Annual International Conference on Ethnic and Religious Conflict Resolution and Peacebuilding*
*CALL FOR PAPERS *
*Conference Synopsis*
Contrary to the popular belief that conflict, violence, and war are biologically and intrinsically part of the human nature, history teaches us that at different times and places human beings, irrespective of their faith, ethnicity, race, ideology, social class, age and gender, have always created innovative ways of living together in peace and harmony both as individuals and as groups. While some of the approaches for peaceful coexistence are developed by individuals, a greater part is inspired by and collectively learned from the rich teachings inherent in the different domains of our social systems - family, culture, religion, education, and socio-political system.

CfP/J: The burden of intra-EU mobility on national welfare systems
*Politiche Sociali/Social Policies (ed. Il Mulino)*
*Call for papers*
*THE BURDEN OF INTRA-EU MOBILITY ON NATIONAL WELFARE SYSTEMS: BETWEEN MYTH AND REALITY*
Focal Issue to be included in no. 3/2017
*Guest Editors: Stefano Giubboni and Francesco Costamagna*
Abstract Submission: *Deadline 20 January 2017*
Manuscript Submission: *Deadline 15 May 2017*
Free movement of persons has become one of the most cherished and most despised features of the European integration process. On the one side, the combined rights to free movement, residency and equal treatment are unique in the world with regard to both its scope and political commitment to regional integration and solidarity (Geddes, 2008). On the other side, these rights face now strong opposition, as they are perceived as encouraging social tourism and posing an unsustainable burden on national social security systems. For instance, this perception dominated the poisonous and largely uninformed Brexit debate over migration issues.
The possibility that free movement, associated with equal access to social protection for the movers, could represent a cost for national welfare systems is not a novel concern and has been taken into account by EU
policy-makers. Indeed, according to EU law only workers and the self-employed enjoy full rights to residence and not to be discriminated against in access to social benefits.Conversely, economically inactive persons have the right to reside in the territory of another Member State only if they can demonstrate having sufficient resources for them and their families, plus health insurance. The objective is to avoid their becoming “a burden on the social assistance system of the host State”(Art. 7 Directive 38/2004/EC).

CfP: 2017 ESPAnet Conference - Stream 17: Health and social exclusion
We invite abstract submissions for the following stream:
*2017 ESPAnet Conference - Stream 17: Health and social exclusion*
*14th-16th September 2017, Lisbon, Portugal*
Plenty of evidence exists on the connection between health outcomes and socioeconomic status: there is a strong social gradient in health, meaning that people with lower socioeconomic status have poorer health than people with higher socioeconomic status. Many studies have contributed to our understanding whether poor health causes lower incomes or leads to unemployment (social selection) or, if lower socioeconomic status leads to worse health outcomes (social causation). Alternatively, a third factor, e.g. risky behavior, could cause both poor health and low socioeconomic status.

CfP: Stream 7: ‘'Enhancing Capablities? Rethinking European Social Policies from a New Perspective'’
We would like to invite proposals for papers to Stream 7 ‘'Enhancing Capablities? Rethinking European Social Policies from a New Perspective'’ of the 2017 ESPAnet Conference 'New Horizons of European Social Policy: Risks, Opportunities and Challenges'; *14th-16th September 2017, Lisbon, Portugal.*
*Stream 7:* *‘'Enhancing Capablities? Rethinking European Social Policies from a New Perspective'’*
European social policies aim to address a broad array of issues, including (un)employment, activation, child and elderly care, education, health, housing, migration, aging and poverty. The design and evaluation of these policies has been approached from different perspectives, including the social investment paradigm, which has featured prominently in recent research. However, one key question has yet to be answered sufficiently: To
what extent do European social policies enhance individuals’ capabilities to achieve valued be-ings and do-ings (*functionings*)?

CfBC: Volume on "Post-Yugoslav Feminist Activism in the 21st Century
*CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS**Post-Yugoslav Feminist Activism in the 21**st** Century*
*Editors of the collective volume:* Zorica Sirocic (University of Graz) and Libora Oates-Indruchová (University of Graz)
The development of an explicitly feminist positioning already in the 1970s and the existence of initiatives alternative to the agenda of the state women’s organizations is what distinguishes the former Yugoslavia from
other countries of the former Eastern bloc with respect to women’s activism. This activism received a powerful impetus in the 1990s from the violent transition of the successor countries of federal Yugoslavia. It was
the latter rather than the legacy of the Yugoslav women’s movement that influenced the direction of feminist theory as well as activism in the 1990s. They both focused primarily on the interconnections between patriarchy, nationalism and war. Many feminist activists and academics of the 1990s positioned themselves against the nationalist politics of the successor states’ governments and, as such, were in the spotlight of the international academic and political attention. Consequently, this attention produced a wealth of feminist research and theory.

Fully funded 3-year PhD position: Irrelevant sound effect in open office space: neural signature with normal and impaired hearing
Fully funded 3-year PhD position
Lyon Neuroscience Research Center, CNRS/Université Lyon 1, Lyon, France
Topic — In open office spaces, workers are submitted to an ambient noise that is demonstrably distracting. This phenomenon is described in the scientific literature as the Irrelevant Sound Effect. The actual causes of this effect are misunderstood, which makes finding adequate solutions particularly difficult. In this project we propose to use electrophysiological markers of sound perception and speech
intelligibility — measured with electroencephalography, EEG — to uncover what properties of the ambient office noise are triggering the distracting effect. We will then use these same markers to understand how hearing impairment affects work in open office spaces.

POLITICS OF ENMITY: CAN NATION EVER BE EMANCIPATORY?
Belgrade, 26-28 September 2016
Nation and nationalism are in many ways peculiar and elusive concepts that could very easily be interpreted as being both ’banal’ and infinitely complex; primordial and modern; imagined and real. Since belonging to a specific national group can be seen as an important source of collective strength for many, solidarity of these collectives may serve as the basis for action to further strengthen these (imagined) bonds. The process itself, more often than not, assumes the existence of another, equally potent, equally solidary collective – most often irreducibly distinct from ours. This positioning which comes part and parcel with the idea of the nation – more so with nationalism – seems to centre around the idea of enmity: the antipode of solidarity among those who belong to ‘Us’. Enmity, as well as solidarity, is thus one of the cornerstones of the ‘practicing of nation’, something which shapes and perpetuates nation as a political identitary framework.
It is often argued that nationalism can be seen as the modern form of Gemeinschaft which answers ontological needs created by the uncertainties of modernity and its power structures. On the other hand, we witness a growth of a global society with an increasingly integrated system, primarily socio-economic, but also cultural and perhaps political. Globalisation creates opportunities, but also crises in which we have to remake our lives and identities (Giddens, 2000). At the same time, social relations continue to be governed and institutionalised in accordance with national temporalities and located within the spaces of the nation. The shift from national to post-national regime cannot be established. Rather, what we see is the emergence of trans-border nationalism as a perverted adaptation of the nation-state model (Brubaker, 2015). The powers of the nation-state are increasing in spite of the global challenges of migration, opening the new perspectives on solidarity but also on enmity.
