Description
Negotiating law and work: Enabler or barrier to entry?
The first seminar (14.10.15) launches the programme with an interdisciplinary perspective on the role of law, reflecting on the ways in which it can facilitate but equally prohibit entry into the labour market. The discussion will consider the implications of marking individuals as ‘illegal’, together with the role of the law in regulating informal and/or casual labour particularly within the context of an increasingly fragmented labour market.
