This collaborative project investigates the modalities through which migrants and refugees forge relationships with host societies in multi-ethnic regions spanning Lebanon, Turkey, the former Yugoslavia, and Hungary. Departing from Western-centric analytical frameworks, the project adopts a longitudinal perspective extending from the post-WWI era to the present day. Its primary contribution lies in theorizing "connectivity" as an expression of migrant agency within contexts of exclusionary state policies across post-Ottoman and post-Habsburg polities. My research within this framework examines four distinct mechanisms of Armenian connectivity in Lebanon.
