W. G. Hart Workshop 2025 Regulating the Global Movement of Care

Making it to the Registers project team Marie-Andrée Jacob, Priyasha Saksena, and Amrita Limbu in collaboration with Adrienne Yong (City St George’s, University of London) and Amanda Spalding (University of Leeds) successfully organised the 2025 Institute of Advanced Legal Studies (IALS) Hart Workshop Regulating the Global Movement of Care on 11-12 June in London.

The workshop featured two keynotes, a creative arts plenary, and brought together 12 speakers from the UK and beyond working on socio-legal aspects of care and migration. Keynotes were delivered by Eram Alam (Harvard University), who spoke about the history of South Asian physicians in the United States, and Majella Kilkey (University of Sheffield), who discussed how migrants’ family relations are problematised within regimes of (im)mobility. The creative arts plenary brought together Analiza Guevarra (Migrante UK) and Helen Rios (Migrante UK) to discuss the lived experiences of migrant domestic workers as well as their work with Ella Parry-Davies (King’s College London) in developing a series of soundwalks that have been used as creative and teaching resources.

The W G Hart Legal Workshop 2025 received financial support from the IALS, the Society of Legal Scholars, and the Social and Legal Studies journal.
