Call for Abstracts: FOM@Play Conference on Migration, Identity, and Transnational Discourses

Dear Colleagues,

We are excited to announce the FOM@Play Conference: Migration, Identity, and Transnational Discourses, to take place 2–5 September 2025 in Granada, Spain.

Organized by the University of Granada, this conference offers a platform for interdisciplinary dialogue on migration, identity, and the lived experiences of transnational communities in Europe and beyond.

The conference is an activity of the FOM@Play project,http://www.um.es/fomatplay funded by the European Commission, which aims to shed light on the complexities of migration, the concept of freedom of movement, and how these shape collective and individual identities. The discussions will focus on the intersections of migration policies, societal narratives, and personal journeys, fostering a deeper understanding of transnational discourses in an era of globalization and socio-political change. FOM@Play is not just a conference but a forum for meaningful exchange among researchers, practitioners, and policymakers. Attendees will have opportunities to network, present cutting-edge research, and engage in thought-provoking discussions about the future of migration and identity in Europe.

We invite scholars from diverse fields, including but not limited to: - Migration studies - Discourse analysis and sociolinguistics - Political science and international relations - Cultural studies and anthropology - Sociology and psychology

Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): - Narratives of migration in media and politics - The role of freedom of movement in shaping transnational identities - The impact of migration policies on social cohesion and inclusion - The representation of migrants in European cultural production - Methodological advancements in studying migration and identity (e.g., corpus linguistics, critical discourse analysis)
