The Lower Danube University of Galati organises, October 18-20, the fourth edition of the International Francophone Interdisciplinary Conference on Migration & Minorities, with the theme of this year's conference being migration between aesthetic representations, social hopes and political constraints.
The event, organised by the Centre for Eastern European Historical and Social-Cultural Studies of the Faculty of History, Philosophy and Theology, is carried out in partnership with research centres and departments from the universities of Sorbonne Paris Nord, Lumiere Lyon 2 and Le Havre Normandie in France, Brigham Young University of the US, University of Kairouan (Tunisia) and the University Agency of La Francophonie (AUF) in Europe, plus participants from other academic and cultural establishments from Canada, Spain, Morocco, Cameroon and Romania.
"The purpose of this conference is to bring together researchers from different fields of humanistic and human research in order to identify, in a common dialogue, the specific aspects of the phenomenon of migration and the mechanisms of its operation in various regions of the world. The plentiful theme of the research offers the possibility of presenting several perspectives of analysis of the phenomenon of migration, so that this conference is open at the same time to researchers and linguists, jurists and sociologists, historians and 'civilisationalists', anthropologists, economists and statisticians, psychologists, as well as to all other specialists for whom the migration of populations and minorities is a key factor, a subject of scientific interest, especially since, this year, in addition to the war in Ukraine, we are all witnessing, with sorrow, a humanitarian crisis in Gaza, which makes the problem of migration and refugees more acute and painful than ever in Europe, in recent decades, as well as throughout the world," according to conference chair Daniel Lucian Galatanu of the Faculty of Letters of the Lower Danube University.
