Third AAWH Congress: Migration in Global History: Peoples, Plants, Plagues, and Ports
Understood in the broadest sense, "migration" brings into focus questions about the movement of peoples, businesses, capital, ideas, goods, diseases, technologies, diverse forms of knowledge, artistic styles, ecologies, as well as medical and scientific discoveries and practices across global borders. Ports such as Singapore's facilitated these movements, which enmeshed the globe in profound change.
