The American Anthropological Association (AAA) has launched a public education initiative entitled World on the Move: 100,000 Years of Human Migration. The AAA invites you to hear anthropologists read selections from their books on migration and displacement. In addition to the author presentations, there will be an opportunity for guests to ask the authors questions and have authors sign copies of their books.

On August 25, Leyla J. Keough, Research Development Coordinator and Adjunct Assistant Professor of Anthropology at UMass, will be reading selections from her latest book, “Worker-Mothers on the Margins of Europe” published by Indiana University Press.
