Migration has become a critical field of study for social scientists due to the harsh realities and rising inequality migrants are subject to. Asia, though hosting a substantial portion of the world’s migrants, provides the poorest protection and fewest policies for advancing migrants’ rights and livelihoods. This webinar aims to feature some of the most crucial queries and questions revolving around ‘migration’. It provides an interdisciplinary platform where distinguished scholars of the CHCI-GLOBAL HUMANITIES INSTITUTE 2020-2021 and Asia-based migrant rights activists and NGOs present their research and professional observations of the complexities of migrant issues in the context of the global COVID-19 pandemic.
The webinar encompasses four themes: (1) Precarious Conditions and the Legality/Illegality Divide of Migrant Workers; (2) Multidirectional Unequal Care and Unequal Rights; (3) Lawless Ocean: Fishermen at Sea; and (4) Transnational Care during the Pandemic. It consists of six panels:
