Migration and the Humanities

Migration plays as critical a role in the moral imagination of the humanities as it does in shaping the activist vision of humanitarianism and human rights. With the generous support of the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, the Mahindra Center convenes a seminar, lectures, and panel discussions on the theme of “Migration and the Humanities.”
