Brown bag seminars fall 2015

If in Malmö, welcome to our seminars at Malmö University. In the project “Undocumented children’s rights claims” we explore rights-claiming among undocumented children and their families in light of theoretical and practical perspectives (see https://blogg.mah.se/undocumentedmigrants). The seminars below are conducted in the fall 2015 within the research project and they are open to all. Seminars are in English and take place in the house “Niagara” in the café second floor. The time is 10-13. If you would like to get the texts in advance to read, or present one of the articles below, please contact anna.lundberg@mah.se.
