Research Webinar: Migration Policy and PALM Workers

WHERE
Online (register to access Zoom link)

Join us for our next Research Webinar, featuring two emerging voices in migration and labour research. 

This is the first in a webinar series that showcases the work of PhD candidates and early career researchers.

Ema Moolchand shares insights from the Meat the Reality project at RMIT, exploring the experiences of Pacific Australia Labour Mobility (PALM) workers in the meat industry. Through creative qualitative methods, including worker-generated photography, Ema brings these important stories to life. 

Emily Foley examines how temporary labour migration policies have shifted under the Albanese government, and the challenges social democratic parties face in creating fair migration systems. 

About the Speakers: 

  • Ema Moolchand is a legal scholar and lawyer specialising in finance law, corporate governance, and workplace law. She holds an LL.M. and Juris Doctor from La Trobe University and was admitted to the Supreme Court of Victoria in 2020. She is currently pursuing a PhD (Law) at RMIT University where she focuses on modern slavery and gender issues in Australian supply chains.  
  • Emily Foley is a Research Associate at Flinders University, Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the University of Canberra, and casual Research Academic at La Trobe University. She is also the current Vice President Academic of the La Trobe NTEU. 

This webinar is free and open to all. Whether you're part of the movement for migrant worker justice, a researcher, student, or simply interested in migration policy, we look forward to seeing you there.
