We have some really exciting plans coming up: a space to think more thoroughly about the intersection between migration studies and history: can migration studies help historians theorise migration history better? Can history help recover regimes of control and exclusion over the long (long) term?

Ben Gidley @bengidley.bsky.social · Aug 6

A pleasure to have been involved in working towards this new Migration and Mobility history seminar launching in the Autumn and led by the brilliant @kabcommons.bsky.social. Keep your eye out as we have some ace events shaping up.
