RSC Public Seminar Series, Hilary Term 2021
Refugee Histories in the Global South
How does forced migration look different if we examine it through a historical perspective? How have refugees been historical actors, as well as victims? This series examines a range of topics that illuminate these questions, by examining the historical entanglements between migration, im/mobility, colonialism, race, and borders.
Convenor: Dr Anne Irfan
Time and location
Seminars take place on Wednesdays from 5.00-6.00pm UK time on Zoom.
Registration links are provided for each seminar below.
