Oggetto: [movimenti.bicocca] CFP: Cross-Movement Mobilisation in Conflicts over Migration and Asylum
Dear all,
in the context of the International Conference on Cross-movement
Mobilization, that will take place on April 5-7, 2017 at the
Ruhr-University in Bochum (Germany), I am organising, together with Priska
Daphi (University of Frankfurt) and Leslie Gauditz (Univesity of Bremen), a
panel on *Cross-Movement Mobilisation in Conflicts over Migration and
Asylum*.

In the last few years, an increasing number of migrants sought asylum in
Europe. This development triggered a series of events and processes. Among
them, various episodes of collective action took place in different
countries: grassroots actions and initiatives in solidarity with refugees,
self-organised protests led by refugees at the borders or in camps,
transnational campaigns demanding changes in European policies, as well as
radical right and nationalist protests against the presence of refugees in
some communities.
This panel explores the construction of coalitions between different actors
involved in such issues and actions. Which alliances are established both
inside and outside social movements? Which actors are most likely to
participate and to seek cross-movement cooperation? How do such coalitions
affect the dynamic of mobilisation as well as the outcome? We intend to
contribute in answering these questions through the analyses of
cross-movement mobilisation between all sorts of actors including left-wing
and right-wing movements and parties, civic actors, volunteers’
associations, trade unions, NGOs, and religious organisations.

If you are interested in participating, please send an abstract (250
words), including the title of the panel, to
cross-movement-mobilization@???, no later than *1st of
October, 2016*.

Best,

Lorenzo Zamponi
