5 to 7 October 2007
Bristol, Rhode Island, United States
This symposium focuses on the migrations of the past 100 years
- how New Media's role, both direct and indirect, in the
transmission by these communities of "living traditions" has
resulted in loss, gain and interpretation.
The symposium has the following objectives:
- To encourage academic discourse focused on transnational migratory populations and the role new media plays in transmitting and sustaining their living traditions.
- To create a forum for researchers in the liberal arts and other disciplines studying the nature, significance and consequence of global migration
- To provide a concert performance of traditional music and dance illustrating the vitality of these living traditions.
