CANADA: Diaspora Education Consortium
EUROPE: Diaspora Project Consortium
The Project
Students and faculty from Canada and the European Union will participate in the Diaspora Studies Consortium exchange -- an international network committed to learning, teaching, researching, and working with diaspora communities.
A “diaspora” is the movement, migration, or scattering of a people away from an established or ancestral homeland. Diaspora studies examines the experience of those people in their new home and how they have in turn influenced host cultures and their connections to their ancestral home. A diaspora studies program examines all aspects of the diaspora experience —cultural, social, economic, linguistic etc. Students from the humanities and social sciences as well as business and criminal justice may find this project of interest.
