This workshop will be the second of four that are being held through the 2011-12 academic year in conjunction with our upcoming international conference on Early Modern Migrations: Exiles, Expulsion, and Religious Refugees (19-21 April 2012). Each of the four workshops explores a particular sub-theme within the larger project, and this one will be focused on three stages of the dynamics at work, with an emphasis on religious movements/groups/texts. It is being organized by Nicholas Terpstra (History – U of Toronto), Greta Kroeker (History – University of Waterloo), and Marvin Anderson (Religious Studies – U of T)
