EIHS Workshop: Home and Exile: Reframing Global Connections and Encounters
Nicole Allora, Christopher DeCou, Allen Kendall, Inhae Yap, Derek Peterson (moderator)
Globalization has been a driving force in human development for millennia. From the exchange of goods and services to the swapping of ideas and customs, greater interconnectivity between different peoples has altered socio-cultural dynamics as well as environmental and epistemological systems in irreversible ways. Belonging and identity in the face of global interconnectivity are constant battlegrounds for those seeking to preserve their home; exile in the form of cultural diminishment and invasion are common realities faced by resistant elements that prevent their maintenance of home. Join us in conversation with our graduate student panelists on the topic of the maintenance of home and cultural identity in the face of globalization's increased interconnectivity.
