> Programme:
>
> Migration and Citizenship in Modern Asia. Dr Sunil Amrith, Lecturer,
> Department of History, Classics and Archaeology, Birkbeck College.
>
> Sanctuary past and present. Professor Philip Marfleet, Professor of
> Migration and Refugee Studies at the University of East London. What is
> "sanctuary" and why has it reappeared as a key campaigning issue among
> those who advocate for migrants? This paper considers continuity and
> change in ideas about sanctuary in both the religious and secular
> traditions. It examines the contemporary Sanctuary Movement in North
> America and Europe, and the implication of efforts to protect migrants by
> means which challenge the authority of the state.
>
> Transnational health seeking strategies: a study of Latin American
> migrants in London. Dr Jasmine Gideon, Lecturer in Development Studies,
> Birkbeck College. Much of the discussion around migration and health has
> focused on the need to ensure access to services for migrants once in
> their destination. Migrants often employ a broad range of health seeking
> activities, many of which depend on transnational networks. Drawing on
> interviews with Latin American migrants in London this paper examines the
> health seeking behaviour of a group of economic migrants and argues that
> there is a need to recognise the importance of understanding these
> networks in developing social protection regimes for migrant workers.
>
> Exile, diaspora and the politics of belonging. Dr Nira Yuval-Davis,
> Director of the Research Centre on Migration, Refugees and Belonging
> (CMRB) at the University of East London.
> This paper examines different political projects of belonging relating to
> exile and diaspora and their differential intersectional effects.

> Professor Phil Marfleet, Professor Nira Yuval Davis
