On Wednesday 9th April, the School of Law and Criminology hosted a seminar entitled "On the Borders of Migration and Labour Regimes: EU Temporary Labour Migration, Challenges, and Precarities".
The seminar brought together scholars from Maynooth University and University of Strasbourg to explore temporary labour migration as a multifaceted phenomenon in the EU, which both shapes and is shaped by the intersection of migration and labour regimes. The Strasbourg researchers presented findings from their projects associated with the European Research Council-funded European Birds of Passage project, led by Marco Rocca. Catharina Lopes-Scodro is visiting Clíodhna Murphy at the School of Law and Criminology for three months to complete work on the Irish case study aspect of her PhD.
In the first panel, PhD students Audrey Deverson and Rebecca Vining examined the specificities of the agricultural sector, while speakers in the second panel (Catharina Lopes-Scodro and Clíodhna Murphy) focused on domestic work. In the final segment, Marco Rocca presented findings on "Spatiotemporal Boundaries and the EU Framework for Temporary Labour Migration." In the final presentation, Prof Michael Doherty reflected on the labour law issues raised by aviation 'wet-leasing', and 'digital nomads'.
