Brown bag seminars fall 2015
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 at Malmö University Niagara in room NIC0402. 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.
