UMP Brown bag seminars
In the project “Undocumented children’s rights claims. A multidisciplinary project on agency and contradictions between different levels of regulations and practice that reveals undocumented children’s human rights” we investigate everyday life and rights-claiming among undocumented youth (read more below).
These are our seminars during the spring of 2014. We talk English and the seminars take place at Malmö University, in the conference room on third floor, Gäddan (room 355) 12-15 (bring your own lunch). If you would like to present your own work, or any of the texts listed in the schedule, please contact anna.lundberg@mah.se.
