    Students Workshop on the Armenian Diaspora

    Boston University

    Friday, February 12, 2010

    Sponsored by

    Charles K. and Elisabeth M. Kenosian Chair
    of Modern Armenian History and Literature, Boston University

    International Institute for Diaspora Studies
    (A Division of the Zoryan Institute)


    Armenian diasporan communities emerged over centuries as a result of
    voluntary migration and forced displacement in times of military
    conflicts, the Genocide during WWI, and economic and political crises.
    This workshop aims to bring together graduate and advanced
    undergraduate students to present their research on the Armenian
    diaspora. Papers explore the evolution of Armenian diasporan
    communities and stimulate analyses of current issues. Comparative
    analyses of Armenian diasporan communities are particularly encouraged.
    Individual papers and panel submissions presenting original
    contributions are invited on the following topics related to the
    Armenian diaspora:

    Diaspora and Cultural Development
    Diaspora and Ethnonationalism
    Diaspora and Feminism
    Diaspora and Fine Arts
    Diaspora and Literature
    Diaspora and Psychology
    Diaspora and Social Issues
    Diaspora and the Armenian Media
    Diasporan Identity and Host State Governments
    Diaspora Studies and Historiography
    Diaspora, Transnationalism, and Globalization
    Transdisciplinarity of Diaspora Studies
