Sociobord member Claudine Marissal will feature as an invited speaker in FLUXUS’s lecture series on migration and borders in the Greater Region (The Luxembourg Centre for Contemporary and Digital History, Luxemburg University).
In her lecture Dr. Marissal will explore tensions and negotiations between industrialists, trade unions and associations that defended the interests of migrants and public authorities in French-Belgian borderland region. She will comment on the construction of specific social policies and the adaptation of welfare provision systems to the particular situation of workers in the border area and their families, focusing especially on three vulnerable groups: working women, veterans and children.
