On the second day of this two-day hybrid workshop, two roundtables host presentations on ongoing research carried out by early career scholars.
People move. And so, do objects and knowledge. The 1990s mobility turn in the social sciences and recent migration crisis have increasingly brought to the fore that displacement, travel, and migration are part and parcel of any human society, shaping their social, geographical, environmental settings, as well as processes of knowledge production in significant and multifarious ways.
This two-day workshop aims to discuss the Mediterranean area as a space of multilevel connectivity between interrelated regions, like North and Atlantic Africa, Western Asia and Europe; and to reframe the Mediterranean space from the perspectives of the environmental humanities, Mediterranean and African studies, intellectual history, and the history of science.
Bringing together scholars working on early modern and modern times, presentations address multiple mobility patterns - from human migrations, to the circulation of ideas and knowledge, from exchanges of practices to transfers of goods - in the expanded space of the Mediterranean.
