Mellon Migration Faculty Research Seminar 2026-2027
The Mellon-funded Faculty Research Seminar focuses on “Migration.” The seminar is comprised of up to seven faculty, including a leader who will take responsibility for arranging meeting times and place. The seminars are designed to support faculty as they pursue their research projects and to create collaboration and community around projects examining migration, broadly conceived, whether to the US or elsewhere in the world, in the past or present. Faculty participants in this year’s seminar are detailed below.
