Estephany and Arunava present at the AHRI Annual Conference

On September 12th, Estephany León Rodríguez and Arunava Banerjee presented their paper “Securitizing Human Mobility in the Global South: Migration Policies in Peru and India,” at the Annual Conference of the Association of Human Rights Institutes (AHRI) in Lima, Peru. The AHRI conference is one of the most prestigious academic spaces in the field of human rights.

Their project was originally conceptualised during the Immigration Integration Policies course at IBEI, Barcelona, in their second semester of the programme.

Reflecting on their achievement, the pair said: “Being able to present our research and work at this international forum was a truly enriching experience for both of us. Our panel generated thoughtful discussion and valuable feedback, including the attendance from Manfred Nowak, former UN Special Rapporteur on Torture.

Currently, we are working on incorporating and discussing all the valuable comments and feedback as we work toward finalising our manuscript.”
