These traffickers were scoundrels and saviours in differing measure and without their actions the entire process of early-modern migration would have been inconceivable.

The Immigration White Paper signals the biggest shakeup of UK immigration policy for 40 years. The end of free movement of people between the UK and the EU and the move to a new system will have profound effects on immigrants and their families, past, present and future and on the UK economy, business and public services. Funded by the ESRC, leading researchers from a variety of perspectives – law, policy, and economics – examine the implications. There will be a variety of discussants drawn from policy-makers and the private sector. Event Details hereTo RSVP please register on Eventbrite | |||||||
Thurs 28 Feb 2019 7pm – 9pm Venue to be announced | Cambridge Migration Society presents A Film Screening of Footballization with the film's screenwriter Stefano Fogliata and discussion by Dr Ruba Salih (SOAS) Since their childhood, Louay, Yazan and Rami used to play together on the football fields in Syria’s Yarmouk Palestinian camp. With the intensification of the conflict around Damascus, they have taken refuge in Borj el-Barajneh camp, along Beirut suburbs, where they currently defend the colour of Al-Aqsa team, the Palestinian team that is the symbol of the camp. Stefano, Italian researcher and Al-Aqsa player, drives us inside the camp and the daily life of his teammates. Confined at the margins of the Lebanese society and its football system, Palestinian and Syrian refugees run after the improbable chance to wear the jersey of the most famous Lebanese teams. Footballization is a docu-movie shot in Syria, Lebanon and Palestine, where the football rhythm merges with the daily life stories inside and outside the camp. | |||||||
