The Maastricht Centre for European Law at the University of Maastricht would like to invite you to the 2nd Jean Monnet NOVA-EU webinar “Migration and EU Borders” which will take place on 3-4 December. 

A public webinar on 24 November 2020 from 12:00 – 13:30 GMT / 13:00 – 14:30 GMT+1 (CET) discussing the ways development impacts migration. Hosted by TRAFIG as part of the ‘Zooming in on Migration and Asylum’ webinar series. 

The border as a subject of study has given rise to numerous interdisciplinary works producing rich analyses of the material, social and discursive forms produced by migration control. Although half of the people crossing borders are women, few studies have incorporated a gender perspective. Yet gender is an analytical tool that highlights different social, cultural, economic, spatial, political and legal declinations of the border. In this workshop, we will focus our attention on the gendered dynamics of the governance of mobility, without excluding the other relations of domination that are consubstantial with gender. 

The next migration seminar offered jointly by MGSoG/UNU-MERIT in collaboration with MACIMIDE, will take place on Wednesday, November 25th. 

In this seminar, Mr. Harley will present a study on human trafficking in South Sudan. The seminar will be held from 15:00 to 16:00 CET on Zoom.

Context: 

In 2015, IOM developed a Migration Governance Framework (MiGOF) to help define what“well-managed migration policy” might look like at the national level. The MiGOF was welcomed by IOM’s Member States the same year. The Migration Governance Indicators (MGI) were developed to assess national frameworks and help to operationalize the MiGOF.

Schengen, asylum reform and Europe’s migration diplomacy: Has COVID-19 changed everything? 

Governments around the world increasingly deploy digital technologies in the context of border enforcement and administration, compounding concerns around privacy abuses, discrimination and exclusion related to citizenship and legal status. National security and counterterrorism are major drivers and often used as a catchall justification for these developments.
