Transitions: Journal of Transient Migration

Volume 1, Issue 1 now available at:
http://www.intellectbooks.co.uk/journals/view-issue,id=3176/

*Transitions* is devoted to providing a platform that explores and
investigates the complexities of transient migration. It aims to map the
experiences of transient migrants as they engage and interact with
communities that are linked both to their home and host nations and to
analyse the effects of transient migration as a global, national and
communal phenomena. The journal’s  focus is on how transient migrants cope
with transience and how transient migration affects individuals,
communities and nations before, during and after the period of transience.
By placing emphasis on transience, *Transitions* provides an avenue for the
interpretation of temporality and unsettledness, which it considers
significant and affective. Societies, communities, individuals and cultures
are, thus, in a constant yet fluctuating state of transition.

*Transitions* is a multi-disciplinary journal which brings together
individual scholars and groups working across the Humanities and Social
Services and, includes the ares of Media, Politics, Culture, History,
Policy, Economy and the Creative Industries. *Transitions* will focus on
but is not limited to themes such as belonging, identity, networks, nation,
culture, religion, race and ethnicity, gender, precarity, memory, agency,
community, quotidian encounters and homecoming and the roles various
platforms play within these themes.

qualitative and quantitative studies and will be issuing calls for themed
issues every year. Your paper may address any of the themes above or
