CGM is a network of Dutch and Belgian institutions focusing on migration history. In addition to Radboud University Nijmegen and the International Institute of Social History, members for Flanders include Amsab-ISG and KADOC-KU Leuven. This year's annual study day is hosted by the latter and is organized in collaboration with the European FeMigLab project .
The study day will explore the experiences of female migrant workers in Belgium and the Netherlands, both from the past and present.
The program uses a broad definition of labor: not only paid work, but also unpaid labor and activities within the informal economy are addressed. The seminar offers a platform to share stories, research, and practical examples that bring this often-underexposed topic to life.
In addition to traditional presentations, a poster session will also be organized where students, researchers, heritage professionals, and policymakers can discuss ongoing projects. Are you conducting research, do you have a project or insights that fit within this theme? Or do you know someone who could make a valuable contribution? CGM warmly invites you to register via the link below.
