September 30th - October 2nd 2004
Gendered Borders
International Conference on Women and Immigration Law in Europe
Amsterdam, the Netherlands
CALL FOR PAPERS
The purpose of this conference is to analyse and evaluate immigration law in
Europe from a gender perspective. Women are involved in immigration in
specific ways. Hence the rules regulating immigration have specific
implications for women.
May 1st 2004 marks the end of the first phase in the harmonisation of European
immigration policies regarding third country (i.e. non-EU) nationals. Which
aspects of immigration law are currently of importance for women on the
national level? What can they expect from the ongoing European harmonisation?
What advances have women already made and what strategies can they deploy to
ensure their interests will be addressed (more) effectively at both the
national and the European levels?
Papers are welcome on the following themes:
A Gendered violence and immigration law
B Gender, transnational family bonds and immigration law
C Gender, the transnational labour market and immigration law
D Women, immigration law and public health
