Deadline: Friday 10 March 2017

The organisers of the BSA Early Career Forum “Transnational Education at a Juncture: Sociological Futures post-Brexit” on 2 May invite both established and early-career (including postgraduate) researchers who would like to present at the event to submit titles and abstracts of max. 250 words. In your abstract, tell them how your research contributes to one or more of the questions:

• To what extent can the symbolic capital of a British degree continue to travel across space, post-Brexit?
• Within the complex modes of mobilities of transnational education (TNE), will Brexit trigger new or stifle current forms of mobilities? Should there be a theoretical re-definition of the mobilities within TNE? If yes, how?
•  What are the embodied experiences of TNE institutional agents and the students in situ?
•  In relation to Early Career Researchers who are engaged in TNE teaching and research, to what extent might their career / research trajectories be impacted bythe uncertainties/opportunities brought about by Brexit?
•  To what extent are the TNE students’/academics’ interests represented?

For more information or to submit an abstract, please email Cora Lingling Xu (l.xu@keele.ac.uk) and Reza Gholami (r.gholami@keele.ac.uk) using ‘BSA Early Career Forum: Transnational Education post-Brexit’ in the subject line.
