WICID hosts first webinar - recording now available online
Yesterday, WICID hosted our first webinar, entitled "COVID-19 and South Asia: Journeying with Migrant Labour." In a conversation chaired by Warwick's very own Dr. Rashmi Varma, the convener of WICID's Critical South Asia Group, panellists discussed the implications for migrants across South Asia who are facing the crisis on the move. You can watch the recorded webinar here.
Unfortunately, Dr. Varma's excellent introductory remarks are not included, but you can catch them next time in the next installation of this webinar series, "COVID-19 and South Asia: Citizenship Matters." Another panel of excellent speakers will discuss questions concerning who is a citizen, who belongs, and who is a 'rightful' subject of welfare and governance assumed urgency. The webinar will take place on Zoom on Tuesday 9 June, from 2-4pm (BST).
