Vol. 8 No. 2 (2020): (Special Issue) 2021COMAGI 1st International Conference on Migration and Gender Issues
2021COMAGI 1st International Conference on Migration and Gender Issues (2021 COMAGI) was organised under the shadows of wide spreading COVID -19 on March 11th and 12th 2021 to explore and discuss the issues of migration and gender worldwide which seem to have doubled in the past two decades. The conference was called upon by Dr Abha Foundation, India, and was held online at the Alfred Nobel University, Ukraine.
2021COMAGI witnessed a galaxy of scholars’ participants from more than fifty countries. A good number of selected research papers from scholars from different parts of the world were presented at the two-day conference. Out of those selected presentations, ten presentations were invited for full paper submission to be disseminated as a conference proceeding in the special issue of SOCRATES Journal. This issue of SOCRATES Journal is the dissemination of those chosen research papers.
The paper authored by Olena Hlazkovais aims to reveal how evaluative meanings shape the depiction of Ukrainian emigration and women emigrants in Ukrainian literature of the early 2000s by employing Appraisal Theory developed within the framework of Systemic Functional Linguistics and subjecting excerpts from the following five novels to an in-depth linguistic analysis. This research is significant as the first study of its kind using Appraisal Theory to analyse literary texts written in Ukrainian thus expanding the theory’s reach and relevance.
The paper authored by Bartholomew Chizoba Akpah investigates the utilization of poetry by Patricia Jabbeh Wesley to challenge patriarchal dominance and expose the gimmicks of female devaluation by hegemonic imperialism. Wesley’s poems: “Inequality in Hell” and “My Auntie’s Woman-Lappa Husband”.
The paper authored by Majid Parvanehpour describes Hamid Dabashi’s narrative as related to the concept of “truth” to show that the veil issue has reached a new phase in Iran.
The paper authored by Prof. Priti Diliprao Pohekar aims at knowing the marital status of disabled (Divyaang) women/girls.
The paper authored by Dr Galyna Fesenko and Dr Tetiana Fesenko focuses on mainstreaming gender equality goals at the level of local government in Ukraine.
The paper authored by Sabina Fiebig Lord focuses on providing an insight into the experiences of mobility as reflected by older women migrants from Poland. In contrast to previous studies on female migration with a focus on economic factors, this paper demonstrates that the experience of mobility could be understood as an opportunity to redefine gender subjectivity and offer a route to escape undesirable gender ideology in Poland.
The paper authored by Amalia Cãlinescu proposes a theoretical analysis of A Pale View of Hills, using a psycho-literary approach to the themes of Japaneseness-Englishness, displacement, and the hybrid individual as they emerge from Kazuo Ishiguro’s novel.
The paper authored by Dr Meera Rajeev Kumar and Aksa Sam aims at a descriptive and qualitative analysis of the causes, consequences and conclusion of the gender disparity in employee allowances in Sweden, GCC and India.
The next paper has also been authored by Dr Meera Rajeev Kumar. This paper aims to attain three objectives, firstly identifying the perception of youth about marriage, secondly, to study if “mid-life crisis” in both genders accompanied by emotional, physical and psychological issues can be the causal determinants for various issues in marriage, and thirdly, to study the causal effects between marriage issues, family laws and the country’s economy as there is a direct nexus between the three forces.
The last paper of this issue authored by Benju Dhakal and Mahesh Jaishi aims to understand the willingness among youth to pursue agriculture and gender-based differences in their opinion at the Parbat district in Nepal (Asia).
We must say that all the selected papers are very well written and relevant for the current time. They contribute to the pool of research on migration and gender issues. We are sure that the readers will find this issue of SOCRATES informative and resourceful.
Furthermore, we are grateful to the Alfred Nobel University, Ukraine and their honourable Rector Dr Sergii Kholod for the award of the ‘Order for Research Leadership’ which was presented to us during the introductory session of the 2021COMAGI 1st International Conference on Migration and Gender Issues on 11th March 2021. It is a huge honour for us to have received this award. This award will be an essential part of our lives. It will motivate us for the rest of our future always.
