Transnational Migration/Labour Migration

Convenors: Patience Schell, Laurence Brown

This section will foster discussion and research on issues surrounding labour and transnational migration, focusing on historical and contemporary migrations from various regions, operating as a reading and writing group.  As a reading group, we select and debate key texts addressing issues in the field from multiple disciplinary perspectives.  As a writing group, we offer a  forum where participants submit their own work in progress to the  group for comment and to foster further debate.  The exact format  that each meeting takes, as well as the material discussed, is determined by the participants at the previous meeting.
