How might the humanities contribute to an understanding of the current refugee ‘crisis’? That was the general question that generated the informal session of staff and researchers in the English Department held on 10th February, 2016.
In July 2015, one King’s PhD researcher and a group of Philippine community artists, academics and documenters undertook a two-week ‘RoRo’ journey in Mindanao, the largest island in the southern Philippines. The journey was part of PSi#21, an international Performance Studies research project, which coordinated conferences in fifteen locations across the globe in 2015.
