This workshop aims to reflect on names and naming practices in the context of migration from a variety of disciplines of the humanities and social sciences, tackling present or historical situations analyzed through empirical case studies.

It is convened as part of the multidisciplinary research project DIASCO-TIB project (ANR 23 CE41 0017)  that examines various processes of linguistic and social convergence and divergence at play in the Tibetan diaspora, mainly in France but also in other geographical spaces.
