Diaspora Studies Graduate Workshop


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.
