Workshop: AkiDwA - African Women's Network

Recent migration into Ireland by workers, refugees, asylum seekers,
students, trafficked women, and others, has transformed society, economy
and culture. The Irish government's response has been to introduce multiple
forms of restrictions and exclusions, including a proposal to remove the
automatic right citizenship to children of 'non nationals' and deport their
parents. Focusing on the centrality of women to these developments, papers
will examine:
·     How diverse migrant women - through their activities in families,
communities, workplaces, schools, and  public places - are subjected to
these exclusions, but also how they actively negotiate the boundaries,
practices and meanings of belonging, citizenship, nation, and/or EU
membership. In the process, they forge new identities, political
subjectivities, family forms and communities, that both span borders and
reconfigure specific Irish locales.
·     How laws and policies in other migrant-receiving countries offer valuable
lessons for policy makers and legislators in Ireland, especially as these
affect migrant women. 
Full programme available on 20 February.
