How might collective examination of migration in this period by an interdisci plinary group of scholars help us to understand precariousness and vulnera bility as a lived condition\, one yielding both deeper historical understa nding and new insight into the mass population movements of our present mo ment? This conference will bring together specialists in different fields\ , including philosophers\, political theorists\, historians\, and scholars of literature\, art\, music\, law and religion\, to explore the meanings of transnational migration in history and culture from multidisciplinary a nd global perspectives\, and to understand their legacies in the contempor ary world.\n\nSpeakers\nAlan Bewell\, University of Toronto\nJames Q.
