MIGRATION DRC TRAINING DAY
MIGRATION POLICIES: UK PERSPECTIVES IN A GLOBAL CONTEXT
Friday 22nd January 2010
One Great George Street, London, SW1P 3AA

This day was designed to give those who are involved with migration management policies, a chance to take a look at migration from different perspectives and to learn about current academic approaches and thinking. Each session allowed participants to hear new findings from research, share experiences with colleagues from different ministries and organisations, and participate in roundtable activities designed to stimulate thinking on this issue. The day was led by Richard Black, director of the Migration DRC and each session was introduced by academics with experience of drawing out aspects of their work which directly address the questions currently facing policymakers.
