Tackling the hostile environment: understanding the challenges facing migrants in the UK (Bath)
7 September 2022, 14:00 – 15:30
Online (Zoom)
What to expect
The creation by the UK government of deliberately hostile environment for workers from abroad has been one of the most disgusting spectacles in an era of disgusting spectacles. This interactive online workshop will explore how we got there and what we, as UCU members, can do about it.
The session aims to explore how we can build solidarity between staff and also between migrant and non-migrant staff and students. It will also cover how UCU can practice solidarity with migrant members and the wider migrant community in the UK.
Learning Aims
By the end of this UCU online workshop participants will
-
- Know more about the challenges faced by migrant staff and students in post 16 education and beyond
- Understand how to show practical solidarity with migrant staff
- Explore how we can ensure that workplaces and the union are inclusive spaces for migrant staff.
You can find information and sign-up HERE.
This event is open to all staff at the University of Bath, not only UCU members. Please do pass this onto other staff members you think may be interested.
