You are invited to attend the Caribbean Crucible: Atlantic Migrations and the Making of the Modern World conference held at Columbia University Law School, Jerome Greene Hall Room 106 on April 14, 2023 from 10:00 am to 6:30pm EST

 

This conference asks how our understanding of history changes when we alter our frame of reference to see the Caribbean as the crucible of the modern West, as the progenitor of migrants who radically reshaped the political economies, laws, and cultures of the Atlantic world?

 

Join to explore these questions through the research of graduate student panelists and roundtable discussions. Panels and roundtables include: “Afro-Caribbean Migration and British Legal History,” “Cultures in Transit, Africans in Diaspora,” “Stories of Migration: Oral History Methods,” and “Digitizing Diaspora, Mapping Migration.”
