About the conference

The conference aims to bring together Romani and non-Romani scholars,
students, activists and practitioners to discuss the multiple dimensions
and impacts of Romani mobilities in Europe.
The key themes of the conference are:
- Variety and directions of contemporary Romani mobilities into, out of,
and within the EU, in the broader political, social, historical and
cultural context;
- historical perspectives on policy and practice aimed at governing
Romani mobilities;
- the concept, practice and limits of freedom of movement in the EU in
relation to the Roma case;
- the relationship between different legal statuses and patterns and
directions of Romani mobility;
- Romani politics in the enlarged EU and the process of Europeanisation
of the Roma issue;
- the relationship between indigenous and long-established Romani
communities and newly arrived Romani migrants;
- continuities and discontinuities in public discourses and social
policies for Roma, Gypsies and Travellers in the EU;
- issues of settlement and resettlement in the context of widespread
anti-Gypsyism;
- the impacts of migration on identity and cultural production.

The conference is organised by the Refugee Studies Centre and made
possible by a grant from the John Fell Oxford University Press Fund and
the support of ERSTE Foundation.
