Call for Papers: Spaces and Places of the Journey to the UK: Assessing the Legal Framework for People Fleeing Conflict
This conference is motivated by the plight of people fleeing conflict, attempting to reach Europe, and more specifically, the UK. How does the UK government govern (globally) for refugees and how should it govern for refugees? We invite engagement from theoretical, legal and empirical research into refugee journeys to the UK. From the plight of people affected by conflict, to refugee camps, perilous water crossings, the Jungle, UK Border Force and the process of seeking asylum on arrival in the UK (including UK detention centres). This conference will establish an evidence base to help practitioners and to highlight issues specific to the UK government in the current ‘crisis’.
We have decided to extend the deadline for our Call for Papers to 20th February 2017 due to considerable interest from: academics; British Red Cross; and local government.
The conference is the first event organised by the newly established Conflict and Disasters Research Group at Lincoln Law School. Full text of the call for papers and how to submit and abstract can be found here: http://lawschool.blogs.lincoln.ac.uk/2016/11/29/call-for-papers-migration-conference/
