Synopsis:

From the transfer of ideas and people across borders through the Greek, Roman, and Byzantine civilizations to today's large-scale distress migration, Greece is an important location for studying the historical, theoretical, and practical aspects of mobility in the Eastern Mediterranean. In this year's Worldwide Week at Harvard, the Center for Hellenic Studies in Greece, in cooperation with the FXB Center for Health and Human Rights, the Department of History of Art and Architecture, and Harvard Summer School, invites you to attend a discussion on "Mobility: Memory and Transformation in the Eastern Mediterranean." The event will bring together faculty from three Harvard Programs in Greece and will take place on October 12, 5–6 pm Eastern Time (followed by reception) at 485 Broadway: lower lecture hall.
