"Moving Under Pressure in an Age of War and Revolution, 1750-1830"

An Eighteenth-Century Seminar Conference

This public conference will bring together scholars working on a broad range of involuntary migrations during the transformative period around 1800, in order to better understand the place of this period within the longer history of forced migration.
