  • SIAH Showcase

    An opportunity to learn about past SIAH HEIF-funded projects and receive guidance on our upcoming funding round.

    Friday 7 November | Avenue Campus and online

  • Paul Silverstein

    Drawing on research in Morocco and the North African diaspora in France, this talk explores various ways in which globality is lived in the Maghreb and beyond. It re-examines tropes of "crossroads", "borderlands", and "frontiers" that have been variously proposed to encapsulate the Maghreb's connectivity to the Mashreq, Europe, and sub-Saharan Africa, tracing the ways these categories have alternately privileged and erased the region's particular socioeconomic and cultural complexity.
