This is the call for papers and posters for the Migration and Asylum Law Section of the 2016 SLS Annual Conference to be held at the University of Oxford from Tuesday 6th September to Friday 9th September. This year's theme is ‘Legislation and the Role of the Judiciary’.
The Migration and Asylum Section will meet in the second half of the conference on Thursday 8th and Friday 9th September and we are very pleased to announce that Professor Dora Kostakopoulou (University of Warwick) and Dr Cathryn Costello (University of Oxford) have already agreed to give a presentation.
If you are also interested in delivering a paper, please, submit an abstract of 250 words max. by midnight on Friday 18th March. All abstracts must be submitted through the EasyChair conference system which can be accessed using the following link: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=sls2016.
