This year, the University of Savoie Mont Blanc and its Faculty of Law are hosting the eighth cycle of "Comparative Political Life Conferences," featuring witnesses and researchers in the social sciences and humanities (sociology, philosophy, history) whose work sheds light on major contemporary socio-political issues. For the first time, three meetings will be organized as part of student initiatives, set up and led by students.
The third lecture in the series will take place on Thursday, March 14, 2019 , from 1:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m., in Lecture Hall 3 on the Jacob-Bellecombette campus, featuringKhairollah Alemi, Jean-Claude Berlioz, and Emilie Verdu, who will discuss the following question: “What lies ahead for vulnerable immigrant populations and those who welcome them?”
Khairollah Alemi, Jean-Claude Berlioz, and Emilie Verdu have been invited as part of a student initiative to share their personal accounts and insights with the public on the topic: “What is the current situation facing vulnerable immigrant populations and those who welcome them in France? ” The organizers have chosen to give a voice to various individuals who, each in their own way, are affected by issues related to immigration and the reception of vulnerable populations in France. They aim to draw the audience’s attention to the various underlying questions surrounding this major societal issue: the terms of the debate, the statistics, and the legal—yet always human—perspective. Not a day goes by without this topic making headlines in the media, and they feel it is urgent to debunk the myth of the “uncivilized and dangerous migrant.”
A student initiative organized by first-year Master’s students in Private Law, Ghalib Abdul and Bedran Duvarci.
