The conference invites international researchers in demography, sociology, and population geography as well as neighbouring disciplines dealing with the topic of fertility and family dynamics in migrant and minority groups from different perspectives and applying diverse analytical and theoretical approaches. We aim at a broad range of contributions covering patterns, causes, and consequences of having children and of forming a family, and dealing with the diversity within and between different migrant, ethnic, or religious minority groups and across migrant generations.
Submissions can cover all methodological and theoretical approaches and/or types of data. In the aftermath of the conference, we aim at compiling a special issue in an international peer-reviewed sociological/demographic journal based on the contributions presented. Therefore, we especially welcome the submission of new work in progress.
