Apologies for cross-posting.
Please find below details of a seminar on Post-Accession Migration in Europe, to be held at Newcastle University on 19th June. Please do pass this on to colleagues and postgrads who may be interested in attending, but please note that we will be limiting numbers so would-be attendees are encouraged to contact us sooner rather than later.
