We're holding a Lascar Seafaring workshop at the University of Southampton on Thursday 14th April 2011.
The workshop will look at the global lives of lascars (Asian sailors working on European vessels) in the eighteenth, nineteenth and early twentieth century.
There are further details of the workshop and speakers available at:

I've attached the workshop flyer, and I would be grateful if you would circulate it to anyone you think may be interested.
yours
Jesse
