The aim of this Migration Studies Ph.D. Summer School (MISSCHO) 2023 is to provide an intensive program that enhances the research exchanges among the group of universities participating. It aims at bringing together researchers who are working on migration-related issues from different disciplines in the Humanities and Social Sciences.

This aims at the following main subjects:

1. How discourse and identity are formed in migration studies.
2. How the migrants’ experiences are represented and construct new perceptions and narratives.
3. Which perspectives and methodologies navigating between traditional Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) perspectives and other combined approaches produce new understandings of discourse on migration.

It therefore invites researchers to submit contributions focusing on (but not exclusively) the themes listed below:

• Media discourse on migration
• Migrants’ personal narratives and public discourse
• Political discourse on migration and integration.
• Roles of language(s), culture(s) and social networks in shaping diasporic identities
• Legal discourse on unaccompanied minors
• Gender representation in migration studies
• (Re)shaping research paradigms and methodologies in migration studies

Considering the different topics that the Ph.D. students are developing in their studies, the common concern on methodologies, categories and approaches of analysis will be the main instrumental focus. Therefore, it will be required that students work in teams and prepare presentations to debate on.

Among 20-25 outstanding Ph.D. students will be admitted. PhD. students in the early stage of their PhDs, who are still designing or have recently submitted their research proposal. In order to obtain a certification, students should attend and participate in (at least) the 80% of the activities developed.

From 3rd To 6th July 2023

Among 20-25 outstanding Ph.D. students will be admitted.
