Hybrid lecture in the Jean Monnet Lecture Series by Prof. Ellen Desmet (UGent) on Insights from socio-legal studies on migration law.
Leaving the legal kitchen. Insights from socio-legal studies on migration law
What are benefits and challenges of conducting interdisciplinary, empirical research on migration law? Which different ways and levels of interdisciplinary interaction can be identified? And how to combine empirical and doctrinal research?
This lecture engages with these (and other) questions, illustrated with concrete research projects in the fields of asylum, family reunification and economic migration.
The series will take place physically and online. The Zoom link for the online sessions will be distributed later. Drinks will be served afterwards.
