Studium Generale: Afrika's internationale migratie
Photo credits: William Hamon (via Georgetown University).
Deze lezing vindt plaats in het kader van het Studium Generale programma Het continent Afrika in 2023.
In deze openingslezing gaan we in op de migratiegeschiedenis van Afrika, en dan vooral op de laatste vijftig jaar. We zullen ook proberen de nabije toekomst te voorspellen. Migratie kan niet worden begrepen zonder te kijken naar bredere demografische, politieke, sociale en economische ontwikkelingen, dus de lezing zal niet beperkt blijven tot statistieken, maar zal proberen uit te leggen.
This event will take place both online and physically in Leiden. It will be held partly in Dutch, and partly in English.
