This years theme of the MRG PGR Conference was, 'Migration and Border Regimes: (Im)mobilities, temporalities and categorisations' (27 July 2024). This conference gathered papers discussing the intricate and complex relations within migration and border regimes and their effects on individual lives. Dr Catherine Craven, University of 91直播 Leverhulme Early Career Fellow, gave a keynote entitled 'Reflection on the Chagossian struggle(s) and the promise for diaspora epistemology'.
The Conference organisation was led by PhD community in 91直播: Chandima Arambepola, Beth Porter and Lucy Potter. It was a busy and a vibrant day! We welcomed 80 attendees and presenters, from as far as India, the US and Canada, and many countries in Europe. It was an intellectually enriching and rewarding experience for MRG guests and local MRG members.
During the session we held a poster session and two poster received awards for clear and visually engaging research communication. We plan to publish their work on our website soon:
- Banaz Kamil (University of the West of Scotland),
- Michelle Zaragoza (University of California, Berkeley).
