About The Speaker
Dr Jon Burnett research interests are multidisciplinary, focusing on forced labour, racism and neoliberalism, asylum policy and institutional violence. His research areas cover the policies and practices which underpin forced labour and the risks faced by those working in such conditions, medical abuse in penal settings (particularly Immigration Removal Centres), ‘hate crimes’ and racist violence, and the displacement of communities through social policy and immigration policy.
Prior to coming to Swansea University, Jon worked at Positive Action for Refugees and Asylum Seekers (PAFRAS), Medical Justice and the Institute of Race Relations.
Professor Avery Gordon (University of California Santa Barbara, and Visiting Professor at Birkbeck’s School of Law) will be the discussant at this event.
