The ANU Centre for European Studies presented this roundtable discussion on human journeys as part of the Jean Monnet Migration Network activities, co-funded by Edith Cowan University (ECU), the C-Global Edith Cowan Centre for Global Issues, the Australian National Commission for UNESCO, the Australian National Maritime Museum and DAAD.

This invitation-only event focused on migration, globalisation and the worldwide movement of people and ideas. The visiting delegation were participants in a research program examining the contemporary and historical pressures of migration and its representation in media, journalism and public debates. The discussion centred on Australia’s contribution to the scholarship on migration and its links with Europe and the USA. Particular attention was paid to the role of cultural heritage and cultural institutions in representing human journeys.
