Conference: Access Denied

• Irregular immigrants and persons with weak immigration status are often excluded from the formal social security arrangements in their countries of work and residence. This raises a growing number of legal, practical and political issues. This conference seeks to analyse these issues and bring together academics, policy advisers, practitioners, international organisations, NGO's and representatives of migrant interest groups to explore alternative approaches to social protection and migration.

Conference goals

• To present the research findings of the Cross-border Welfare research group.
• To initiate further research on alternative approaches to social protection and migration.

Invited key-note speakers

• Dr. Ryszard Cholewinski, Migration Policy Specialist at the International Labour Organisation (ILO)
• Dr. Kay Hailbronner, Professor of Law at the University of Konstanz
• Dr. Loïc Wacquant, Researcher, Centre de sociologie européenne et de science politique, Paris / Professor of Sociology at the University of California, Berkeley

Papers can be submitted for parallel workshop sessions

• Abstract deadline: 1 November 2011.
• Paper deadline: 1 February 2012

Post-conference working session
Following the closing plenary on Wednesday March 14 there will be a post-conference afternoon working session for participants who have committed to the proposal for follow-up research.

Conference publication
Participants will receive a conference publication including the research findings of the Cross-border welfare group, a selection of the conference papers and an annotated bibliography.

Prof. dr. Sarah van Walsum, professor of migration law
