Workshop Program (PDF)

In this gathering five scholars will discuss some of their new migration research projects through the
prism of gender and sexuality – including the screening of the recent docu-film Caer on sex work and
migration in the presence of the director. In so doing they will stimulate discussions on how and what
this burgeoning academic scholarship contributes to intersectional approaches across social research.
