I attended the an international workshop at Dartington Hall on the topic of Exploiting Mobilities: Governments, law and the instrumentalisation of movement, between 14th-16th March. Thanks to the organizers for the invitation. It was great to get out of Glasgow for a day or two, to lovely Deveon.
On the 15th March, scholars from across the humanities and social sciences presented work relating to how governments enrol and co-opt mobilities, and the role of laws in doing so. The workshop was divided into three panels. The first saw a focus on international labour mobilities. Michael O’Regan spoke to the hidden exploitation in working holiday visas.
Big thanks’ to the Routes coordinators, Helena Wray, Nick Gill, Elena Isayev and Ben Hudson, as well as Hannah for all the organization. Get the full summary here.
