A Special Session on “Southern European Migrants and First Peoples of the Anglo-sphere”
as part of the 17th Annual International Conference on Sociology
1-4 May 2023, Athens, Greece
Sponsored by the Athens Journal of Social Sciences
The Social Sciences Division of ATINER is organizing a Special Session on “Southern European Migrants and First Peoples of the Anglo-sphere” as part of the 17th Annual International Conference on Sociology, 1-4 May 2023, Athens, Greece sponsored by the Athens Journal of Social Sciences.
- What are the distinct or unique aspects of growing up with blended First Peoples-Southern European families, and how does a dual heritage impact upon experiences in schools, communities, work life, places of worship, and the wider society?
- What role did Southern European migrants play in influencing and allowing, as well as questioning and confronting, racist and colonial ideologies on national, community, familial and interpersonal levels?
- Is there evidence of Southern European migrants ‘importing’ colonial and racial attitudes and convictions acquired in their homelands and colonies, such as Italian colonies in North Africa? Is there evidence of colonial racist attitudes learned from employers, neighbours, churches, schools and media in Australia, Canada and the US? In what ways did Southern European migrants counter or resist colonial racist attitudes imported from their home nation or adopted within their host nation?
- 4. How do migrant memorial, monuments and/or heritage projects recognise or erase First Peoples? Give examples of such recognition or erasure, and ensuing ramifications.
You may participate as a presenter of one paper or an observer. ATINER will accept remote (online) presentations of 15-20 minutes in cases that onsite presentations are not possible by the speaker.
Fee structure information is available on www.atiner.gr/fees.
Special arrangements will be made with a local hotel for a limited number of rooms at a special conference rate. In addition, a number of special events will be organized, including a pragmatic symposium (as organized in Ancient Athens but fine-tuned to synchronous ethics), a special one-day educational island tour, a Mycenae visit, an Athens educational walking tour, a day trip to Delphi, and an ancient Corinth and Cape Sounion visit. Details of the social program are available here.

The association was established in 1995 as an independent world association of Academics and Researchers. Its mission is to act as a forum where Academics and Researchers from all over the world can meet in Athens, in order to exchange ideas on their research, and to discuss future developments in their disciplines.
The organizing and hosting of International Conferences and Symposiums, the carrying out of Research, and the production of Publications are the basic activities of ATINER. Since 1995, ATINER has organized more than 400 International Conferences and other events, and has published close to 200 books. In 2012, the Association launched a series of conference paper publications (click here), and at the beginning of 2014, it introduced its own series of Journals (click here).
Academically, the Association is organized into 6 Divisions, 37 Units and 6 Centers. Each Unit organizes at least an Annual International Conference, and may also undertake various small and large research projects.
