Migration History Seminar 2024-25

Migration is one of the great facts of human society. Its contribution to the making of the modern world cannot be overstated. While historical writing in settler societies such as the USA and Canada has emerged over a long time period, European nations with rich migration histories, such as the UK, France and Germany, have more latterly recognised the centrality of population movements. We should also consider the history of migration from the perspective of the Global South. There is great scholarly interest in the field and that will grow now as legacies of imperialism become much more directly entangled with the lives of immigrants in the countries they have settled.

All sessions will be held online using Microsoft Teams on Wednesdays, 5-6.30pm GMT. Registered attendees will receive a link to join each session ahead of time.
