New Project Launch: Mig.Res.Hub
We have partnered with Migration Mobilities Bristol for our new MigResHub project which aims to facilitate research and policy debates on how migrant labour shapes the resilience of essential goods and services to the current Covid-19 pandemic and to similar shocks in the future. How does migrant labour affect the ability of essential services to continue during crises?.
 
The project was launched with an online conference on ‘Covid19 and Systemic Resilience: What Role for Migrant Workers?’.
