In September 2019, the Centre for Research in the Arts, Social Sciences and Humanities (CRASSH) at the University of Cambridge held Migrant Knowledge, Early Modern and Beyond as an event “at the crossroads” of art, scholarship, and activism. It brought together people from all three groups “to think about migration and what it does with, and to, knowledge.” In this short movie, the people involved reflect on both the event and topic from different angles.
Surveys the research on current efforts to leverage professional knowledge and skills among migrant populations for development in their countries of origin. Pays particular attention to a program called Connecting Diaspora for Development.
