Mobility: Memory and Transformation in the Eastern Mediterranean

From the transfer of ideas and people across borders through the Greek, Roman, and Byzantine civilizations to today’s large-scale distress migration, Greece is an important location for studying the historical, theoretical, and practical aspects of mobility in the Eastern Mediterranean.
