Migrants, far more than other groups in society, with their experiences rich in borderlessness, struggle, resistance and empowerment, raise a double challenge when we attempt to research politics of digital presence. </span></p>

<span lang="EN-US">We invite colleagues to raise to this challenge and to discuss migrant ideology, organization, affect, agency and discourses; to comment on digital objects and media produced by pro-migrant and anti-migrant groups and diaspora communities; and to discuss the impact of race, gender, ethnicity and class on everyday discourses in networked digital and hybrid environments.</span></p>

<span lang="EN-US">With an eye to European migration policy and the possibility for a digital public sphere with a European flavor, we particularly welcome - but will not restrict to - the presentation of recent research on conflict and migration in Europe, as well as research focusing on the possibilities of dialogue and democratic praxis in the European digital public sphere beyond the representational.</span></p>
