The Role of Academic Arguments in Practical Work with Refugees and Migrants’

The event will take place on 27 October 2023 at 17:00 online and in person at Queen Mary, University of London’s Lincoln’s Inn Fields campus.

This roundtable brings together academics working on asylum and immigration law in the UK context with practitioners from law, policy and practice to discuss the role of academic arguments in their day-to-day work with refugees and migrants and how academics and practitioners can work more closely together to bring about change.

It constitutes an excellence hub for intellectual collaboration and the evaluation of the role of law in the making and unmaking of borders and their impact on global (im)mobility. It connects scholars within and beyond Queen Mary Law School to harness existing inter- and multi-disciplinary research into law, borders and (im)mobility and shape future policy and research agendas in response to global challenges.
