Cambridge Migration Research Forum - Public Launch Event: Tuesday 4th November 2014, 5.00-7.00pm

Speakers: Dr Philippe Bourbeau (POLIS), Dr David Howarth (POLIS), and Dr Jeff Miley (Sociology)

Migration, migration, migration! Whether the concern is EU migration, or migration from outside of Europe, or the tracking of asylum seekers, or whether or not, as Defence Secretary Michael Fallon appears to think, people in the UK feel ‘swamped’ by migrants, or ought to contribute to the rescue of migrants drowning on boats in the Mediterranean... migration is hitting the news daily. Join us at the Cambridge Migration Research Forum public launch event to get behind the shallow media rhetoric! Featuring a panel of distinguished Cambridge Migration Research Network speakers with political and sociological research interests, focused on current UK, European and Global migration concerns: Migration, Security & Resilience: Towards a triangular relationship, Immigration in the UK General Election 2015 and beyond, The politics of belonging in Europe.
