co-organized by

Graduate School in Social and Political Sciences (Univ. Milan)
Collegio Carlo Alberto, Moncalieri (Turin)

With the support of COMPAGNIA DI SAN PAOLO
Venue: Collegio Carlo Alberto, Moncalieri (Turin)

Date: 23-27 July 2012

This summer school focuses on the theoretical and empirical complexities brought about by the introduction of the perspective of migration and geographic mobility in the analysis of intergenerational relations in ageing societies. It integrates the rich scholarship on the impact of demographic ageing on generational roles and intergenerational exchanges with that on migrations, considered from the triple perspective of the receiving and sending countries, and that of the migrants themselves as members of intergenerational networks.
The International Summer School is devoted to PhD students and junior researchers.

The organization of the Summer School is centred around two daily sessions: a lecture on the state of the art of a given topic by a scholar of international standing followed by a general discussion; a second session, chaired by the same scholar, where participants present and discuss their papers related to the topic. This is an opportunity for participants to receive suggestions for their on-going research or PhD completion.
The International Summer School lasts five days. Applications should be addressed to Dr. Cornelia Lawson ( This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. ) by May 31st, 2012. Participants are asked to present a paper and will be selected according to:

1. the quality of their paper abstract (up to 500 words);
2. a short summary of their on-going research or PhD project (no more than 2-3 pages),
3. a brief CV (one page).

Notice of acceptance will be given by June 20th. Up to 25 participants will be admitted. The workshop fee is €180, which covers access to the workshop, coffee-breaks and lunches, and accommodation in Turin. No fee will be required from participants from ECSR member institutions.
