People, things, ideas and languages have crossed borders since the earliest of times. Such passages have entailed epistemic shifts and encounters, transactions and transformations. A Crossroads of Knowledge initiative, this public event brings together scholars, artists and activists to think about migration and what it does with, and to, knowledge. In tune with the Crossroads project, we begin in the early modern world, but move freely across periods to dwell on the urgent experience of migrancy in our own times. We aim to acknowledge the many meanings of ‘migration’ and ‘knowledge’, to probe the history of their interrelation, and to use our imaginative engagement with crossings of knowledge in its many forms.
Migrant Knowledge, Early Modern and Beyond: an Event at the Crossroads took place from 15 – 17 September 2019 in Kettle’s Yard and Fitzwilliam College, Cambridge.
The event was convened by:
Subha Mukherji (University of Cambridge)
Rowan Williams (University of Cambridge)
Natalya Din-Kariuki (University of Warwick)
Carla Suthren (University of Cambridge)
