Armed conflicts and restrictions on academic freedom have forced many scholars into exile. So far, few comprehensive studies exist on the professional trajectories of these scholars and their contributions to knowledge exchange. We know little about the individual situations and networks of these scholars, their motivations and the challenges they face in their home as well as their host countries. How does forced displacement affect their lives? How does it impact their academic activities? To what extent do different support programs allow them to resume their research? This book offers some answers, shedding new light on contemporary and historical examples of scholarship in exile.weiterlesen
