Connected Communities: Diaspora and transnationality

本研究综述批判性地探讨了与人文和社会科学的离散和跨国相关的“连接社区”的概念。它发展了跨国散居社区内部和社区之间“连通性”的概念，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；以及信仰团体和宗教散居者。作为研究回顾的一个组成部分（见Bonnerjee等人，2011年，完整的报告），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为期一天的这些主题研讨会。这些研讨会（两个在RGS-IBG，一个在Geffrye，一个在市中心，QMUL）汇集了来自学术，艺术/文化和社区部门的70多名参与者，涉及一系列演讲，研讨会活动和讨论未来合作研究的重点。完整的报告回顾了关于社区、侨民和跨国的主要学术辩论；在一系列方框中突出学术、艺术/文化和社区部门的重点项目；包括讲习班总结和评价；并确定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.
