Boundaries, borders and belonging: a workshop to explore migration,
citizenship and global development
Tuesday 11th May 2010, 2-5p.m, Baines Wing SR (1.13)
Global Development and Justice Research Group, POLIS, University of Leeds
This workshop on migration and citizenship aims to facilitate an
exchange of ideas and networking between researchers from multiple
disciplinary perspectives. We will examine the often blurred boundaries
along the continuum of migrant status(es), and explore how these
intersect with differentiated constructions of citizenship by states as
well as with constructions of belonging by migrant communities, both
within and across borders. What are the implications of these
intersections for global development and justice? The workshop is
structured in two panels with 4 presentations of 10 minutes each,
followed by open discussion for 40 minutes. The workshop will be open to
academic staff, doctoral and post-doctoral students and Master's students.

* Hannah Cross, University of Leeds: Migration, mobility and status:
