Connected Communities: Diaspora and transnationality

这篇研究评论批判性地探讨了“连接社区”的概念，它与人文和社会科学中的散居和跨国性有关。它发展了跨国和散居社区内部和之间的“连通性”概念，重点关注四个关键领域：社区历史;家庭、社区和移民;城市、社区和联系;信仰社区和宗教散居。作为研究评论的一个组成部分（参见Bonnerjee等人，2011年，报告全文），与皇家地理学会（与英国地理学家研究所）和Geffrye家庭博物馆合作，举办了四次为期一天的讲习班。这些研讨会（两个在RGS-IBG，一个在Geffrye，一个在城市中心，QMUL）汇集了来自学术，艺术/文化和社区部门的70多名参与者，并涉及一系列演讲，研讨会活动和关于未来合作研究优先事项的讨论。完整的报告回顾了社区，散居和跨国性的关键学术辩论;在一系列框中突出了学术，艺术/文化和社区部门的关键项目;包括研讨会摘要和评估;并确定了未来合作研究的关键领域。

This research review critically explores the idea of 'connected communities' in relation to diaspora and transnationality across the humanities and social sciences. It develops the idea of 'connectivity' within and across communities that are transnational and diasporic, focusing on four key areas: community histories; home, community and migration; cities, communities and connections; and faith communities and religious diasporas. As an integral part of the research review (see Bonnerjee et al., 2011, for the full report), four one-day workshops on these themes were held in partnership with The Royal Geographical Society (with Institute of British Geographers) and The Geffrye Museum of the Home. These workshops (two at the RGS-IBG, one at The Geffrye and one at The City Centre, QMUL) brought together more than 70 participants from across the academic, arts/cultural and community sectors and involved a range of presentations, workshop activities and discussions about future collaborative research priorities. The full report reviews key academic debates on community, diaspora and transnationality; highlights key projects across the academic, arts/cultural and community sectors in a series of boxes; includes workshop summaries and evaluations; and identifies key areas for future collaborative research.
