Diaspora Labs
The Diaspora Labs are a key vehicle for scholarly debate and community engagement.
The aim is to involve experts from across the Humanities and Social Sciences in a real dialogue with real members of the community.
ISRC Events Organiser: Dr Carlo Pirozzi
Events
Events involve teams of workshop leaders including scholars, political figures, journalists and artists from Scotland, the UK and Other Europe.
Events are filmed to generate additional archival and educational resources, and audio-visual recordings are made available through both owned websites and the social media to maximise dissemination and impact.
Our target audience is not limited to the Italo-Scottish community and events are held in academic and non-academic premises to capitalise on the broad community appeal of the project.
Publications
The Labs will have conventional scholarly outputs in the form of a new series of Diaspora Discussion Papers.
