Diasporas, Migration and Identities: Crossing Boundaries, New Directions
11-12 June 2009, University of Surrey, Guildford, UK
_____________________________
‘Diasporas, migration and identities’ has been the subject of a major
national research programme funded by the Arts and Humanities Research
Council (AHRC) in the UK since 2005. Its central concerns have also been at
the heart of the work of the Centre for Research on Nationalism, Ethnicity
and Multiculturalism (CRONEM). The aim of this international conference is
to examine the past and present impact of diasporas and migration on nation,
community, identity and subjectivity, culture and the imagination, place and
space, emotion, politics, law and values.
