CSG Lunch Seminar: Connecting migration, mobility and transport

Guest lecture by Colin Pooley, that is jointly organised by the Centre for Urban History (CSG) and the Urban Studies Institute (USI) and is also part of two courses on migration history.

Colin Pooley is emeritus professor at Lancaster University and one of the major authorities in the field of social geography of Great Britain and Europe since the eighteenth century. Among other things, he wrote about migration patterns and everyday mobility in the past and present. Colin Pooley will first give a presentation after which there will be time for discussion.

CSG Lunch Seminars
The Lunch Seminars are at the heart of the Centre for Urban History at the University of Antwerp. Whereas the aim of these nearly weekly meetings remains constant – a critical and constructive discussion focused on a written text dealing with urban history in the broadest sense –, the content and nature of the texts are characterized by a great variety, including project applications or research drafts, book chapters and articles in progress.

Lunch will be provided so please report your presence before Thursday 19 April to thomas.verbruggen@uantwerpen.be.
