LSA 2027 will be in Hong Kong, where I often am, with a theme focused on mobility, so I can't help but be there - let me know if you will be, too.

In new research, published in Third World Quarterly, Christopher Szabla, Assistant Professor in International Law at Durham University, traces the roots of contemporary migration debates to the “long 1970s.”, which was a key turning point in global migration governance.
