Two-day workshop for PhD-candidates on May 30 and 31, 2013:
"Tracing Migration and Global Connectedness - Urban Contexts
in Central Asia and Beyond"
The aim of our workshop will be to approach and situate Central Asian urbanities
by developing a comparative, trans-regional perspective. To achieve this, we want to
confront ethnographic contributions focusing on urban contexts in Central Asia with
case studies from adjoining regional settings, such as the Caucasus, Russia, China and
South Asia. In doing so, we aim to trace the impacts of migration and global connectedness
on these cities' recent historical trajectories and scalar positionings, as well as we
want to investigate the city dwellers' distinct ways of adapting, integrating
and creatively arranging their lives within these urban contexts.
