要旨：The International symposium 'Crossing Boundaries' will bring together scholars from many disciplines (history, literature, social and natural anthropology, sociology, political sciences, religious studies, geography, environmental studies, and engineering) to discuss multifaceted aspects of migration.
Contemporary world is faced with an acute crisis of migration. The fact that millions of people are forced to leave their homes in the Middle East and Africa illustrate the failures of the nation state system that characterized the universal mode of human political organization since WWI. With the dissolution of colonial empires, both political leaders and intellectuals hoped sovereign nation states will give rights to every individual and protect their dignity and equality. Yet, international community’s inability to confront and solve ethical, political, and material consequences of the migrants’ movement reveals the deeper political and intellectual defects of the global order of the post-WWII period. Migration as a political, cultural and social phenomenon challenges common ideas of citizenship and morality as many of the nation states fail to give migrants rights, while those societies trying to accommodate waves of migration are witnessing high levels of popular racist backlash among their citizens.
Although scholars, journalist and general public recognize the insufficiency of the nation state system’s ideal response to the migration crisis, we have yet to understand all aspects of this crisis, and imagine a solution or an alternative political culture that can overcome these defects. More importantly, communities of social scientists and humanities scholars must cooperate to reflect on the historical roots and multifaceted aspects of this contemporary crisis to guide political leaders towards a more idealistic solution.
The symposium will re-examine the movement of people in the context of history, environment, culture and evolution, and critically engage with the current discourse on immigration. We will also connect on-going research projects with regional focus and beyond to encourage dialogue beyond disciplinary and regional boundaries.

| 10:00-12:30 Session 2: Imagining of Home and Beyond In our increasingly ‘multicultural’ world, people are imagining and reconstituting what they think is the culture of the ‘home’. For migrants, this social construction of ‘culture’ engages both positively and negatively with the host culture. Their imagination of ‘home’ can also indicate a possible future of home that is otherwise unimaginable in their places of origin. | |

| 13:30-16:15 Session 3: Connected and Affected Migration has often been understood as combination of the movements of individuals ‘pulled’ by wages offered and ‘pushed’ by social and economic conditions in the place of origin. In this movement, the individual choses ‘rationally’ where she/he would go. In this session, we take collectivity more seriously by arguing that people move because of networks, affective relations and hopes for change that were not necessarily ‘rational’. | |

| 11:00-13:30 Session 4: Environmental Adaptation: The movement of people has brought about dramatic environmental change through the introduction of commercial and food crops. These have turned many tropical regions of the world into plantation colonies. Changes in the natural environment have also encouraged and forced people to move out of their homes. The session brings together historians, social and natural anthropologists, and geographers to engage critically with the relationship between migrant humans and the environment. | |
