6. Call for Papers | Internment Europe: From Colonial Practices to Contemporary Control

Conference | INTERCOL | 26-28 November 2025

This interdisciplinary workshop aims to critically rethink the concept of internment in its various forms, tracing its development from colonial practices to today’s ‘detention archipelagos’ in migration regimes. The specificity of this project is that it considers the colonial experiences of Southern European countries – rather than the more well-known but more recent experiences of Northern European empires – to understand the roots and evolution of concepts and techniques of internment/confinement of groups considered ‘dangerous’ today.

11. Journal of Sakarya University Faculty of Theology (Web of Science ESCI-Indexed, e-ISSN: 1304-6535) is an international, multidisciplinary, peer-reviewed, open access journal devoted to theology and religious studies.

Journal of Sakarya University Faculty of Theology (SAUIFD) invites innovative and original contributions from academic scholars of religion, theology, education, philosophy, psychology, sociology, comparative religion, history, literature, art, health, social sciences, humanities and others interested in the multidisciplinary study of religions.

Starting from August 1, 2025, our journal will adopt a continuous submission model. The submission system will no longer be opened for short periods and then closed. This change will allow us to distribute the editorial workload more evenly over time and to more actively engage international researchers who may not be familiar with time-limited submission periods.

Please note that, depending on the volume of submissions, the journal may temporarily pause the acceptance of new manuscripts without prior announcement.
