Migration Across the Disciplines

Organized by Tendayi Bloom and Parvati Nair

30th June -1st July 2011

Few will dispute that the study of migration involves numerous possible disciplinary
routes and methodologies of research. With this conference, the Centre for the
Study of Migration brings together scholars, practitioners and performers from
several continents. They work in the fields of: anthropology, geography, governance, languages, law, literature, media, medicine, philosophy, physics, and poltics. They will be expressing themselves through traditional academic papers, through poetry, through music, through film, through photography, and through insights from their daily practice. Based physically at the heart of Britain’s  migration story, we will have the option of a walking tour of London’s East End and a conference dinner at a local Lebanese restaurant. We hope that you will join us and help us to explore Migration Across the Disciplines.
