This research-based workshop offers postgraduates the opportunity of building up interdisciplinary links between Human Rights discourse and Literary and Critical Theory.
Participants will have ample opportunity during this workshop to engage in a discussion of Human Rights through a couple of exercises drawing from recent collected data on migrancy in the Mediterrenean which will also involve discussion of current EU Asylum and Immigration policies.
Examples will be drawn from my research project and recently organised events on asylum seekers journeying through the Mediterranean and will provide ample illustrations - through both discussion and presentation - of how growing instances of global dehumanization and the increasing demand for human rights, particularly migrant rights, need to be recognised beyond the confining boundaries of the nation-state and its perpetuated and imagined sovereign.
