Dr. Ann-Cathrin Corrales-Øverlid from the University of Bergen will be sharing her insights on a pressing and significant issue: "From Combating 'Work-Related Crime' to the Prevention of Migrant Labor Exploitation: The Differentiated, Precarious, and Predatory Inclusion of Migrants in Norway"
️ Date: Tuesday, 28th May
⏰ Time: 3:00 PM
Venue: Room 113, U35 (Unioninkatu 35)
Dr. Corrales-Øverlid's presentation will explore the complex challenges migrants face in Norway, transitioning from general work-related crimes to specific strategies aimed at preventing labor exploitation. Her research, enriched by extensive fieldwork across three continents, uses in-depth interviews and ethnographic methods to provide a nuanced view of migrants' experiences and their interactions with broader socio-economic forces.
After the seminar, we invite you to join us at a reception right here in U35. It will be an excellent opportunity for everyone to discuss the topics further and network in a relaxed environment.
The kick-off symposium of PrecaNord took place at the University of Helsinki on August 24th-25th, 2023.
