Safe Countries, Unsafe Procedures? Asylum, Returns, Due Process and Separation of Powers under Scrutiny

The 2026 Doctoral & Post-Doctoral Colloquium of the Academy of Law and Migration (ADiM), organized in cooperation with the Jean Monnet Centre of Excellence on the integration of migrants in Europe (IntoME) will take place on 8 and 9 October 2026 in Lampedusa. Like the previous editions, the Colloquium aims to enhance the scientific contribution of early-career researchers in migration and asylum studies — PhD candidates, postdoctoral researchers, research fellows and early-career scholars — by promoting an interdisciplinary debate with senior scholars

The Colloquium invites papers addressing the role of safe country concepts in accelerated and border procedures. Papers may also explore the broader institutional tensions generated by these notions, including the question of whether ordinary courts may reassess general safety determinations made by legislative authorities, and how such judicial review should be framed in light of separation of powers and the rule of law.

How to apply Candidates may apply by 15 June 2026 by sending their proposals to: accademia.immigrazione@gmail.com Each proposal shall include:

• an abstract in Italian or English, 400 words maximum;

• a short bio, 200 words maximum. Successful applicants will be notified by 20 June 2026. Selected participants will be invited to:

The post Call for Papers: Oxford Dharma Conference 2026, Abstract Submission Deadline- 10 July 2026 appeared first on KnowledgeSteez.

The Journal of Human Rights Practice welcomes proposals for special collections. A special collection is a group of articles, policy and practice notes or other innovative formats, such as interviews, edited by guest editor(s) under a common theme. The special collection will constitute the lead component of a given journal issue.

Please note that, although we will ultimately require a full proposal for review, you are welcome to reach out to our Managing Editor, Elke Evrard, at Elke.Evrard@ugent.be if you would like any initial feedback from the editorial team before submitting a full proposal. If you choose to do so, please share 1-2 paragraphs outlining your proposal.

The call for proposed special collections is now open.

Proposals for new special collections must fall within the remit of the journal. They should be a maximum of 6,000 words in total (inc. footnotes) and include:

• A full set of contact details and biography for the guest editor(s).
• A proposed title for the special collection.
• A rationale for the special collection and the relevance to JHRP of its original contribution.
• A list of confirmed contributors, with institutional affiliations.
• A list of potential reviewers for peer review. These reviewers should be appropriate experts within the scope of the special collection and have confirmed their willingness to be a reviewer before the proposal is submitted.
• Titles and abstracts for each paper (usually six to ten papers per special collection; these can be, e.g. articles, policy or practice notes, opinion pieces, interviews, etc).
• Details of any funding relating to articles for the special collection or for Open Access publication (external funding is not required).
• Any conflicts of interest for the guest editor(s) or authors.
• A timeline for the special collection, with milestones for completion of each stage.
• An indication of whether the special collection proposal has been, or will be, submitted to another journal and the timelines involved for their decision.
• Drafts of any papers already written (excluded from the 6,000 word count).

Proposals for special collections will be evaluated based on: their fit with the journal’s remit; their original contribution to academic, policy and practice discussions; the diversity of perspectives and authors reflected in the proposed special collection; and the feasibility of the special collection being completed within the specified timeframe. We encourage submissions developed by or including scholarship from under-represented groups in academia and welcome the inclusion of pieces written by or with practitioners. We are encouraging submissions in diverse formats: articles, conversations/interviews, testimonies/personal reflections, opinion pieces, and policy and practice reviews. Viewpoints currently under-represented in the journal are particularly encouraged to participate.

All articles submitted for a selected special collection remain subject to the standard peer review process operated by the journal. We expect guest editors to ensure that articles are of suitably high quality before submission to the journal and reserve the right to reject, before or after peer review, any that are not. If the special collection is accepted by another journal, please notify the Editors as soon as possible that your proposal is no longer under consideration.

Proposals for special collections can be submitted between 23 March 2026 and 31 May 2026.

In June 2026, with input from the Advisory and Editorial Boards, the Editors will select from among the proposals any special collection(s) to take forward. Please note, although special collections will be projected for 2026 publication timing will depend on how soon your collection is readied for publication and our issue schedule.

All special collection proposals should be emailed to the Managing Editor, Elke Evrard at Elke.Evrard@ugent.be to whom any questions pre-submission should also be addressed.

Every academic discipline has something to contribute to the protection of human rights and the prevention of large-scale, identity-based violence. The Institute for Genocide and Mass Atrocity Prevention (I-GMAP) at Binghamton University has pioneered the Charles E. Scheidt Faculty Fellows in Atrocity Prevention program to engage faculty in a guided process of learning and exploration of the potential for their own disciplines to contribute to atrocity prevention. Fellows learn from I-GMAP’s faculty, staff and practitioner visitors and alongside faculty from a wide range of disciplines both within their cohort and from previous cohorts. The program culminates with each faculty member modifying at least one of their own courses to integrate an atrocity prevention lens through innovative and engaged pedagogical approaches.

The upcoming program runs from September 2026 through May 2027 (with a break during December and January), primarily in an online and asynchronous format, with synchronous meetings at the start and finish of the program.

Click here to apply to be a 2026-2027 Faculty Fellow.

Application Process

Faculty members can apply by using the simple form found here. If deans, chairs, or colleagues would like to nominate a faculty member for the program, we encourage them to share this call for applications with them directly or to contact Sellah King’oro Martens at skingoro@binghamton.edu to share that faculty member’s information.

Eligibility

Faculty members from any college or university and from any and all disciplines and professional fields are eligible to become Fellows. The Faculty Fellowship Program is currently only available in English, so fluency in English is a requirement of participation.

In Humanities Theory (2025, with Amanda Anderson), Simon During offers a suggestive mapping of a “humanities world” – a loosely linked “conglomeration of practices, interests, comportments, personae, offices, moods, purposes and values” that inhabit “various settings, disciplines and institutions”. The “humanities world” is plural and diverse; it has no essence or centre, even as it is threaded by shared – if contested – histories, understandings and commitments. It transcends disciplinary lines and geographical formations. Vitally, it also embraces a flourishing “extramural” humanities – of books, artworks, exhibitions, performances, films, TV shows, and podcasts – that bears only loose relation to the professional humanities ensconced in universities.

Some possible questions to consider include:

How do public humanities projects matter to law? What kind of interventions do they perform, what dispositions do they enact? What are their critical and/or transformative possibilities?

To which audiences do such projects speak? What alternative publics or counterpublics might they produce?

Can we talk of a global public humanities or a transnational concept of public interest? Or do/should public (legal) humanities activities remain more closely bound to space, place and the cultural specificity of the local?

What is the role of cultural institutions (theatres, cinemas, libraries, galleries, museums) and other forms of collective life (political collectives, assemblies, movements, crowds, communities) in shaping discourses of law and legal history?

How do popular representations and cultural practices impact the politics of law and public opinion? What kind of “popular legalities” (Greta Olson) do they mobilize?

How are digitization and social media use transforming the conditions and possibilities of public humanities?

To what extent are they blurring the lines between the professional and the popular, and to what effect for law? How can the genres and modes of the vernacular – songs, stories, speech, folklore, rituals – be brought to bear more fully on our understandings of the histories, forms and futures of law, including Indigenous laws?

How might they spur new attention to the regional, the minor and the peripheral? How do we come to terms with the ‘inhuman’, ‘nonhuman’ and possible ‘post’-humanities world as part of a commitment to continuing work in law and the humanities? What are the possible “public futures” (Judith Butler) of the legal humanities?

While providing direction, these suggestions are not meant to be limiting, and we welcome inventive interpretations of the lead theme. The conference is also an opportunity to reflect the current state of law and humanities work and to chart emergent meanings, stakes and implications. We thus broadly invite proposals that explore the cultural, imaginative and aesthetic aspects of law, or which otherwise mobilise the potential of the humanities to address things legal.

Submission Guidelines

We invite proposals for 20-minute papers on any aspect of the conference theme(s) and warmly encourage artists, practitioners and scholars of all backgrounds and career stages to apply. We also welcome proposals for fully formed panels, roundtable sessions, workshops or other innovative formats. These will be allocated a 90-minute slot within the conference programme. Double sessions may be possible, but only at the discretion of the conference organisers. We encourage those interested in coordinating a session to get in touch as early as possible with any questions or queries. For fully formed panels, roundtables or workshops, please submit an abstract of the proposed theme and format (ca. 250 words), with short biographies (ca. 150 words) of the contributors. For individual papers, please send an abstract of ca. 250 words and a short biography (ca. 150 words).

All submissions should be sent to lucernaiuris@unilu.ch by Friday 12 June 2026.
