22 March 2016, 3.00-7.30pm
Migration is the key opinion shaper and point of controversy in the Brexit campaigns. With this half-day event, we aim to inject factual clarity and critical analysis into the debate, challenging arguments on both sides. What are the key claims and facts regarding free movement, the refugee crisis and the EU's role in either? How are they used to influence people as they make sense of the choice about EU membership?
This event follows a first one on 08 March,听Brexit Divisions I: What you ought to know about EU referendums and the UK debate.
Both events are embedded in guest editor weeks on 听that we are hosting 7-11 and 21-25 March.听The events are open to the public, and targeted at activists and opinion shapers, analysts and commentators, students and academics, as well as interested citizens.听
