We are pleased to announce an upcoming joint internal event between the Bristol Poverty Institute (BPI) and Migration Mobilities Bristol (MMB), two of the University’s Specialist Research Institutes. This BPI-MMB roundtable invites researchers from across the university to explore how issues relating to poverty, migration and social justice intersect, and what we as academics can do to support people on the margins. The event will kick-off with a series of short, informal presentations from researchers working on poverty and/or migration and/or social justice in different schools/faculties, before moving into a roundtable discussion.

The aim is to explore synergies, identify potential research questions, and find new spaces and opportunity for collaboration. The event will be open to researchers at all schools and faculties from all career stages, including PhD researchers. Registration will be through a managed process to enable us to record attendance as well as any dietary requirements. We will have some time at the end of the formal agenda for mingling and networking. Please refer to our Eventbrite page for further information regarding speakers and the event programme.

This in-person event is open to all University of Bristol academics at any career stage (including PhD researchers).

Places are limited, so please register early to avoid disappointment. If you are no longer able to attend, please cancel your ticket so it is available for someone else.

When registering, please ensure that you answer all of the registration questions, so we have the information we need for all attendees. If you do not complete the registration form, your order will not be valid.
