The Diaspora Studies Graduate Workshop takes place usually every two weeks on Tuesdays at 12pm. All meetings will meet in Room 2.27 in the School of History, Classics and Archaeology, William Robertson Wing, Old Medical School, Teviot Place.
The
interdisciplinary Diaspora Studies Workshop
launched by the Scottish Centre for Diaspora
Studies in 2009 is open to all MSc and PhD
students working in the field of diaspora
and migration.
At
each meeting the participants will discuss
a short paper, which will be pre-circulated
and be available on-line at least one week
in advance.
Subjects
for discussion will include issues of migration,
identity, and the movement of peoples, cultures
and ideas across time and space.
The
workshop aims to create an interdisciplinary
network of diaspora researchers. It offers
an engaging forum where research students
can receive constructive criticism, present
their work in progress, discuss draft conference
or seminar papers, tackle methodological
issues and seek assistance with specific
problems.
