Migration Narratives
PhD Seminar Series:
The series will consist of three seminars with speakers from the fields of literature, history and postcolonial studies. Readings will be set for each seminar. In the final session, PhD students will also have the opportunity to discuss their own projects, and receive advice and feedback about their methodological and conceptual framework.
The series is designed to furnish PhD students with a more nuanced and contextualized understanding of migration narratives and migration theory.
