Salt Lake City, UT, United States

Hosted by the Barbara and Norman Tanner Center for Nonviolent Human Rights Advocacy, together with co-sponsoring units and organisations, this second annual conference on human rights, conflict resolution, nonviolence, and peace will focus on Migration, Rights, and Identities: Examining the Range of Local and Global Needs.

The conference will consider questions such as:

• coerced to voluntary forms of migration;
• analyses of structural bases for migration;
• treatments of tensions between migrating groups as well as between those groups and new communities/regions/nations;
• scrutiny of various attempts (including sometimes violent ones) by nations to restrict immigration;
• attention to effects of migration on individuals and groups;
• relationships to questions of identities along the lines of ethnic, linguistic, religious, class, gender, age, and other groupings;
• critiques of images surrounding migration and migrating groups; and examinations of the rights of all parties involved.
