ON THE MOVE: MIGRATION AND MOBILITY IN CENTRAL AND EASTERN EUROPE AND EURASIA
* INTERDISCIPLINARY CONFERENCE *

April 5, 2013 to April 7, 2013
Washington University in St Louis

Increasingly, questions of mobility and migration are attracting scholarly interest. Researchers from various fields are working on projects related to the topic, mostly within the boundaries of their own disciplines. To facilitate a cross-disciplinary exchange among scholars focusing on these issues in the Central and Eastern European and Eurasian region, International and Area Studies at Washington University is hosting an interdisciplinary workshop entitled “On the Move: Migration and Mobility in Central and Eastern Europe and Eurasia.”

The conference workshop will take place April 5-7, 2013 at Washington University in St. Louis. Panels will address issues such as technology and technology transfer, tourism, emigration, cultural change promoted by the transport revolution, border crossings, and the impact of migration and mobility on art and culture.

The meeting includes a keynote lecture by Leslie Page Moch (Michigan State University), undergraduate and graduate student panels with WashU students showcasing their work, and four interdisciplinary, thematic panels with scholars from across the US.

All events will take place in the Washington University Alumni House.
