This event has ended

From the 1890s, Greek communities made new homes in European colonies, settler societies and advanced post-war economies like West Germany, but were also being violently uprooted from much of the eastern Mediterranean and the Soviet Union. This paper suggests how diaspora histories might be reframed within the context of global historical developments.

This event will be hybrid, both in person room 353 Morven Brown Building, Kensington Campus and online
