Workshop Migration in the Mediterranean: across borders and disciplines

The main objective of this workshop is to give a comprehensive assessment of the Mediterranean migrations overcoming the existing barriers between disciplines. In order to do so the workshop is organized in three sessions. The sessions are dedicated to both the theoretical debate in the field of Euro-Mediterranean migrations and to the presentation of original results of field studies about migration in the Mediterranean area. They bring together history, geography, economics, demography, sociology, anthropology, political science and law. Scholars of different disciplines will contribute with studies aiming to give a snapshot of the theoretical perspective of each field of study, going beyond the single discipline and presenting the intersections among them. Field studies will have an original approach, crossing disciplines and dealing with emerging themes.
