Our aim is to bring to light the diverse range of theoretical work that is being developed and to consider how the theory is brought to bear on current issues of race, racism and ethnicity. Papers are invited that both explore contemporary theoretical debates and consider the ways in which diverse theoretical frameworks are deployed in specific areas of study. Paper topics include, but are not restricted to, the following themes: Theories of race, racism and ethnicity Black British feminism The implications of ‘post-racialism’ on the study of racism The impact of intersectionality on the field Thinking globally/historically in connecting race, colonialism and Empire Understanding race and racism under austerity Islamophobia, anti-Semitism and/as racism Race, migration and diaspora Mixed heritages and the study of ethnicity Speakers for the day: Professor John Solomos Professor Miri Song Professor Nira Yuval-Davis Professor Claire Alexander Professor Gargi Bhattacharyya Dr Brett St Louis Professor Gurminder Bhambra Dr Karim Murji (TBC) Abstract Submission Abstracts of 250 words can be submitted online at: portal.britsoc.co.uk/public/abstract/eventAbstract.aspx?id=EVT10312 The deadline for submissions is midnight on 29 November 2013.
