Call for Papers - Migrants and their Networks
*Call for Papers*
Session: Migrants and their Networks
at the XXXIII. Sunbelt Conference, May 21-26, 2013 University of Hamburg, Germany Session organizer: Boris Heizmann, University of Hamburg
Migrants crossing nation state borders usually are often faced with significant changes with regard to their social networks. While they often maintain ties to their area of origin they also establish new relationships in the receiving context. Both of these networks can act as opportunities or constraints for individual or collective action in various ways, and they may precipitate further migratory movements in the form of chain migration. In this session we want to explore how migrant networks emerge, evolve over time, and what effects they have on a variety of pertinent issues. Possible venues for approaching this topic may deal with questions about how social relations change during the process of migration, the relative importance of intra- and interethnic networks for various forms of integration, and the ways in which social relations can be put to use in order to overcome some of the economic, social and emotional hardships that migration may entail. Submissions from any discipline and methodological background are welcome.
Submission will be closing on December 31 at 11:59:59 EST. Please limit your abstract to 250 words.
Proceed to abstract submission: http://www.abstractserver.com/sunbelt2013/absmgm/ When submitting your abstract, please select “Migrants and their Networks” as session title in the drop down box on the submission site. To be extra sure please put a note in the "additional notes" box on the abstract submission form that states Boris Heizmann as the session organizer.

Call for papers “Historical Network Research” at the XXXIII. Sunbelt Conference
Call for papers “Historical Network Research” at the XXXIII. Sunbelt Conference, May 21-26, 2013 – University of Hamburg, Germany
The concepts and methods of social network analysis in historical research are recently being used not only as a mere metaphor but are increasingly applied in practice. In the last decades several studies in the social sciences proved that formal methods derived from social network analysis can be fruitfully applied to selected bodies of historical data as well. These studies however tend to be strongly influenced by concerns, standards of data processing, and, above all, epistemological paradigms that have their roots in the social sciences. Among historians, the term network has been used in a metaphorical sense alone for a long time. It was only recently that this has changed.
We invite papers which successfully integrate social network analysis methods and historical research methods and reflect on the added value of their methodologies. Topics could cover (but are not limited to) network analyses of correspondences, social movements, kinship or economic systems in any historical period.
Submission will be closing on December 31 at 11:59:59 EST. Please limit your abstract to 250 words. Please submit your abstract here: http://www.abstractserver.com/sunbelt2013/absmgm/ and select “Historical Network Research” as session title in the drop down box on the submission site. Please put a note in the "additional notes" box on the abstract submission form that states Marten During and Martin Stark as the session organizers.
For further information on the venue and conference registration see: http://hamburg-sunbelt2013.org/, for any questions regarding the panel, please get in touch with the session organizers.
