A new academic year (and in the Chair of Immigration)
I am greatly looking forward to starting the 2013/2014 academic year in both teaching and research within the framework of the University of Girona Department of Law and Social Security of which I am the Director. I am also looking forward to performing my duties as Director of the Chair of Immigration, Rights and Citizenship of the same university.
It is also a great pleasure for me to launch my professional blog on Labour Law and Immigration with a page exclusively in English, in which I aim, on the one hand, to publicise the activities carried out by myself and my university team in the area of Labour Law and Social Security, and in the Chair of Immigration, and on the other, to publish my observations on those aspects of Spanish, European and international legislation and policies most related to the world of work and the problems migrants have in this field, particularly third-country nationals coming to the European Union.
The Department of Labour Law and Social Security of the University of Girona is made up of several professors and lecturers teaching Bachelor and Master Degree courses mainly in the Law Faculty and the Faculty of Economics and Business Studies. It is also worth noting the intense involvement of our Department in the Master’s in Work, Labour Relations and Human Resources, taught at the Faculty of Education and Psychology.
The Master’s in Work, Labour Relations and Human Resources is taught by a team that is fully engaged in university teaching. This Master’s offers an inter-disciplinary, international outlook on the labour market, with special emphasis on labour relations management in business.
In the area of research, our projects mainly address the recognition of the Decent Work Principle as established by the ILO and targeting migrant workers. Our research work focuses, therefore, not only on mechanisms for immigrants to gain access to employment, and on their working conditions, but also on their setting up businesses or becoming self-employed.
As regards the Chair of Immigration, Rights and Citizenship (CIDC),which I have the honour to chair, its main activities consist of the monthly issue in digital format of the Bulletin of Legal and Institutional Policies (in English, Spanish, or Catalan),as well as offering post-graduate courses, seminars and conferences.
If you are interested in receiving the Bulletin totally free by email in any of the three languages it is published in, please do not hesitate to contact us at: dir.cidc@udg.edu
We can deal with any other enquiry at this address.
Another activity to be carried out with the support of the CIDC this year is the 2014 edition of the European Student Seminar in Labour Law and Social Security, in which students from several European universities meet in Girona to study and discuss a theme related to this discipline. This year’s discussion point will most likely focus on the presence of immigrants in the labour market.
I hope that getting to know the full range of our activities as explained in this blog has been useful. Our Department and the Chair of Immigration are very open to collaboration with other entities that share similar objectives to those expressed here.
Thank you for following us and reading our blog, and until our next blog entry.
