Online Lecture Series

Poverty, Violence and Migration in the Red Sea Region

Wednesdays 5:30pm to 6:30pm Berlin Time (CET)

Starting 13 October 2021

This lecture series will showcase new research into the historical causes and contemporary dynamics of structural poverty, political violence, and large-scale migration in the Red Sea Region. The invited speakers each recognize the continuing importance of longstanding intra-regional connections, and their lectures will shed light on the ways that the coping strategies currently pursued at individual, household, community, and state levels are shaped by the legacies of past practices.
