Migration and Diaspora Cultural Studies Network (MDCSN)
The Manchester Migration and Diaspora Cultural Studies Network is a collaborative framework for academic research into the cultural transformations brought about by the global movement of peoples, languages, objects, images, sounds, beliefs and ideas. The network embraces a wide range of disciplines, with a strong core in language-based disciplines, which gives it a distinctive, internationally comparative dimension, and illuminates the interpenetration of cultures from within. Themes include intercultural communication, cultural memory, representation, and diasporic subjectivities, across a spectrum of modes of migration, from refugee studies, through border studies and language contact to transnational cinema and 'queer diasporas'.
