The principal aim of this conference is to gain a better understanding of Central European migration to Canada and to contribute to scholarship in this field. We encourage a dialogue between scholars, both Central European and international, to explore as broadly as possible this expansive topic. We particularly wish to explore this theme from an inter-\/transdisciplinary and comparative perspective. For the purpose of this conference and due to our funding restrictions Central Europe shall be defined as the countries of: Austria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Slovakia, and Slovenia. The conference will provide an expansive update on research, such as the 1996 studies on Austrian migration to Canada (Szabo, Engelmann, Prokop).<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Examples of topics of presentation may include, while not being limited to, the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Immigration Waves<\/li>\n<li>Central European Emigration to Canada<\/li>\n<li>Social and Economic Factors Driving<\/li>\n<li>Central European Migration<\/li>\n<li>Canadian Immigration Policy and Central Europe<\/li>\n<li>Immigrants and Refugees<\/li>\n<li>Settlement Challenges<\/li>\n<li>Language and Education in the Immigrant<\/li>\n<li>Community<\/li>\n<li>Emigration Routes and Protocols<\/li>\n<li>Religious Communities and Their Influence on Migration<\/li>\n<li>Cultural Integration, Assimilation vs. Preservation of Cultural Identity<\/li>\n<li>Inter-provincial and Territorial Settlement and Preferences<\/li>\n<li>Diaspora Communities<\/li>\n<li>Stereotypes of Central European Immigrants<\/li>\n<li>Identity and Central European<\/li>\n<li>Communities in Canada<\/li>\n<li>Urban vs. Rural immigration<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>We encourage presentations from all disciplines and fields of scholarship, including history, anthropology, sociology, literature, pedagogy, art history, political science, religious studies, cultural studies, philology, linguistics, etc.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>We are inviting submissions for both individual papers and panels for presentations.
