<h3>Event Summary</h3>What makes Cornish Studies relevant in a global context? Well, perhaps a key reason is that Cornwall can be seen as a good case study of key globalisation processes, particularly global migration. Cornwall&#x27;s position and relationship to the other Celtic countries, England, Europe and indeed the world also invites academic study worldwide. Today we mark St Piran&#x27;s Day by looking at that global, outward facing aspect of Cornish past and present in a Cornish World.<h3>Event Itinerary</h3>19:00 - Introduction, History of the Institute of Cornish Studies &amp; Setting the Scene, <a href="https://humanities.exeter.ac.uk/history/staff/tregidga/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Dr Garry Tregidga</a> &amp; <a href="https://socialsciences.exeter.ac.uk/politics/staff/willett/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Dr Joanie Willett</a>, University of Exeter 19:04 - Cornwall’s Global History: Cornwall as a case study in globalisation, <a href="https://humanities.exeter.ac.uk/history/research/centres/ics/about/whoweare/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Mr Matt Blewett</a>, PhD student at the Institute of Cornish Studies, University of Exeter 19:19 - J’ai vécu*: the impact of the French Revolution on the lives of two Cornishmen, John Pollard and James Quick - Miss Kensa Broadhurst, PhD student at the Institute of Cornish Studies, University of Exeter * Attributed to the Abbé Sieyès, author of Qu’est-ce que le Tiers-État?
