Spring 2014


Migration and Labour
10 March – 11 April, on-campus week, 24-28 March
Course Directors: Professor Charles Woolfson, REMESO; Associate Professor Branka Likic-Brboric, REMESO and Associate Professor Zoran Slavnic, REMESO. Guest Lecturers: Professor Judy Fudge, Kent Law School and Professor Carl-Ulrik Schierup, REMESO
This course looks at the barriers to decent work and protected labour standards in the global and European economy. It asks how policy-makers and labour market actors have responded to the challenges posed by migrant workers in securing labour rights in the increasingly insecure world of work. At a theoretical level we discuss unfree labour, circular migration, ‘informalisation’ and precarious work in a global economy and its impact on industrial citizenship. Strategies by labour market actors such as trade unions, labour inspectorates and supra-national governance bodies such as the ILO are explored.
Deadline for application: 20 February 2014

The course addresses both scientific and policy debates concerning the relation between migration, development and human rights.An issue at the top of the international policy and global governance agenda. The students will explore theoretical issues of migration and development, as well as empirical work in the field.
