Conference on Migration and mobility in a global historical perspective

26/08/2010 (All day)

26-28 August 2010
Taipei, Taiwan

 Convenors: Prof. Nora Chiang, National Taiwan University and Prof. Leo Lucassen, Leiden University.

This is the third of a series of conferences on Global Migration History. This third conference, in Taipei, focuses on major migration flows in the last millennium and categories, worldwide, in particular in Asia.  The first two days will be devoted to new evidence on the long term history of world migrations, with a particular stress on Asia. On the third day we will combine these new insights with the topic of the second conference on settlement processes, nurtured by the papers on diaspora, exile, identity and creolization. This will enable us to to conclude the Taipei conference with a comprehensive conclusion on migration and settlement in a global long term perspective.
