I enjoyed speaking at "Unseen and Unprotected: Modern Slavery in the Shadow of Migration" at Jesus College Cambridge yesterday. @petrebreazu.bsky.social and the other organisers brought together speakers and audience members who genuinely care about trafficked persons and other irregular migrants.

I've been thinking about how UK immigration law practitioners and legal academics could collaborate more effectively for a while now. Read about the rationale behind a JIANL Special Issue on the topic and ongoing research (including how to get involved) on the ILPA blog 👇

@drfoxpopuli.bsky.social and I had a scrumptious time talking at @nulawandsociety.bsky.social about @lawsadrag.bsky.social - drag, law, research, queer stuff, and future projects. And there's a really cute bar nearby too for afterwards!

James and Rosie in Archie's in Newcastle, near the law school of Uni of Northumbria. The decor is cute pink, blue, and white pastel graffiti, and the DJ booth is in the shape of a VW camper van's front bonnet. Both Rosie and James look cute, have gay disco ball cocktails, and are giving standard peace signs
