- Description:
- On 14-15 January 2010, the RSC held an international conference on ‘Romani mobilities in Europe’, which brought together Romani and non-Romani scholars, students, activists and practitioners from across a variety of disciplines. The main aim of the conference was to map ongoing empirical research on the issue of Roma migration and mobility and to open up the debate to alternative framings. The papers presented at the conference explored mobility from a variety of disciplinary perspectives. For once, the policy agenda and its implicit and explicit priorities – how to stop the ‘tidal wave’ of Roma invading the West - did not dictate the terms of the debate, but became an object of analysis, something that needs to be scrutinised, and ultimately deconstructed. Why Roma mobility is perceived and constructed as a threat?
