CALL FOR PAPERS
Critical Approaches to Romani Studies
Annual conference of the Romani Studies Program at Central European University

Date: May 21-22, 2020
Deadline: February 16, 2020
Venue: Central European University, Budapest, Hungary

The Romani Studies Program(RSP) at the Central European University is pleased to invite scholars to submit paper and panel proposals for the Critical Approaches to Romani Studies conference held on the 21st and 22nd of May 2019, in Budapest, Hungary.
Roma have been an object of academic and policy inquiry for centuries; however, until recently, due to structural discrimination, few Romani people have been allowed to shape the discourses on themselves. The establishment of the Romani Studies Program at CEU represents a turning point in this academic environment by applying a broader definition of scholarship and knowledge production and involving activist-scholars.
The annual conference of RSP brings together Romani and non-Romani activist-scholars embracing critical approaches and methods to Romani Studies. The conference proposes a paradigm shift in Romani Studies and challenges the dominant academic and policy discourse by focusing on the forms of racialization of Roma and the mechanisms and impact of racism and structural discrimination on Roma and Romani identity.
