International Conference
November 5 and 6, 2025
Equality in access to and exercise of individuals’ rights is a key element for their social integration. At the international conference “Los márgenes del derecho: exclusión y políticas migratorias en España, Italia y Francia”, which will be opened by Juan Iglesias Martínez, the discussion will take place within a comparative framework among these three countries. The first session will focus on law as a boundary, through the analysis of legislation that marginalizes, with presentations by Ángeles Solanes, Letizia Mancini, and Aitana Torró. The second session, which revolves around languages of exclusion in political discourse, will feature Jorge Correcher, Nacho Hernández, and Iker Barbero. The third session will address experiences on the margins of this border, offering a journey along this dividing line with contributions from Ana Vázquez, Mariagrazia Santagati, and Annalisa Lendaro. Afterward, there will be a propositional roundtable on the Europe we want, bringing together the notions of justice, citizenship, and inclusion. Participating in this discussion will be Ferran Camas Roda, Rubén Romero Masegosa, and Lourdes Santos. Finally, Professor Javier de Lucas will close the conference with a reflection on the European paradox of universal rights in times of exclusion..

Obstacles to the Integration of Migrant People in the Labor Market

This seminar examines the main barriers faced by migrant people in accessing the Spanish labor market.

Experts from the third sector, who support individuals throughout their employment inclusion process, will discuss access to jobs, opportunities, and existing obstacles in this field. The speakers will share their firsthand experiences and propose ways to improve the labor integration of migrant populations in Spain.
Power Play and Racism
March 11, 2025
This seminar addresses racial or ethnic discrimination in an innovative way. Through the introduction of a participatory game, speakers assign a specific color to attendees, who are then treated differently based on the constructed social category they belong to. This interactive approach sets the stage for a seminar where participants experience racism and the power dynamics associated with it firsthand through role-playing and simulation.
