Lacuna Magazine - A Call for Submissions on the Theme of Migration

Lacuna is an online Magazine published by the Centre for Human Rights in Practice which challenges indifference to suffering and promotes human rights. Its aim is to fill the gap between the short-term immediacy of daily journalism and long-term academic analysis.

Building on our existing work in this field, we now seek to explore the issue of migration as a core theme of the magazine over the next year.

All forms of writing and visual art will be considered: fiction, non-fiction, poetry, film, animation and photography. You may wish to investigate a particular issue, to provide commentary, reportage or expert analysis. Or you may wish to review a book, a film, a piece of music, art or theatre connected to migration.

Lacuna wants to create a space for deeper thinking on immigration and the issues related to it; identity, exile, security, the global economy, human rights legislation, integration, statelessness, immigration detention, women, language, jobs. These are just some of the topics we want to cover. We will consider past mass movements of people, within countries as well as across continents, and highlight the best historical, economic and political thinking on the subject.
