Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Migration is a central phenomenon of our current age and one that is fundamental to understanding globalization processes at large as well as to show how they reflect on an individual level. This is mirrored in the fact that migration and mobility form particularly thriving and dynamic fields of historical research. What is more, in recent years, the ways of studying migration and mobility have been expanded to include not only the mobility of people but also of objects and ideas.
This seminar will introduce new approaches in historical migration and mobility studies from a global history perspective and place them in dialogue with the research undertaken by doctoral students at the University of Vienna working in this field. A first part will be based on readings, providing common ground both in terms of current themes and perspectives and in terms of research methods and their challenges. A second part will provide ample space for PhD students to present their projects and discuss how the approaches and methods encountered in the seminar apply to their own work.
