Call for Papers – Symposium Settling in the Self-Built City: South–South Migration and Urban Borderscapes 5–6 November 2026, Amsterdam, the Netherlands The UvA invites submissions for a two-day symposium linked to the project Contesting Urban Borderscapes in Latin America (www.cedla.nl/urban-project). The event will take place at the city-centre campus, with sessions at the Allard Pierson Museum. The symposium focuses on the social dynamics of self-built neighbourhoods in Latin America receiving migrants from neighbouring countries, with case studies in Medellín and San José. We welcome contributions addressing South–South migration, community governance, social integration and exclusion, memory and narrative, and processes of bordering and symbolic boundaries. Please submit an abstract (max. 250 words). Selected papers will be considered for a special issue, so we encourage original, unpublished work. The symposium will be held in person. Meals are included, and two travel grants are available for scholars from low-income countries. The programme will close with a public keynote and exhibition. Deadline: 1 May 2026 Submissions: [email protected] / Isabelle Mollinger Enquiries: [email protected] / Christien Klaufus #CallForPapers #CFP #UrbanStudies #MigrationStudies #HumanGeography CEDLA (University of Amsterdam)
