   Jo van der Spek, Director of [5]Migrant to Migrant Radio, Holland



   New structures of being and experience in hybrid media environments and
   social networks point to the continuities and discontinuities of modes
   of conflict and dialogue, but also offer new dialectical necessities to
   be explored. Migrants, far more than other groups in society, with
   their experiences rich in borderlessness, struggle, resistance and
   empowerment, raise a double challenge when we attempt to research
   politics of digital presence.

   We invite colleagues to raise to this challenge and to discuss migrant
   ideology, organization, affect, agency and discourses; to comment on
   digital objects and media produced by pro-migrant and anti-migrant
   groups and diaspora communities; and to discuss the impact of race,
   gender, ethnicity and class on everyday discourses in networked digital
   and hybrid environments.


   With an eye to European migration policy and the possibility for a
   digital public sphere with a European flavor, we particularly welcome -
   but will not restrict to - the presentation of recent research on
   conflict and migration in Europe, as well as research focusing on the
   possibilities of dialogue and democratic praxis in the European digital
   public sphere beyond the representational.


   This conference is part of Hulls dissemination activities for the
   European FP7 project [6]MIG@NET 'Transnational Digital Networks:
   Migration and Gender' and it is in joint collaboration with Geert
