Precarity, i.e. insecurity and uncertainty in life, is structural, situational and, for many, especially for migrants and racialised minorities, an enduring condition of life. Sociologists and social scientists have for long acknowledged that time, temporalities and rhythms are simultaneously central to the organisation of the society and everyday lives yet commonly taken for granted. For migration scholars time has become an important perspective for the analysis of power dynamics, governance structures, individual experiences and forms of agency and asymmetric relations as well as experiences of precarity.
Confirmed keynote speakers include Professor Bridget Anderson from the University of Bristol, UK, Professor Vanessa May from the University of Manchester, UK and Professor Cathrine Degnen from Newcastle University, UK.
