The Europe We Need
K
9:30Kristen PoliMODERATOR
So I'd like to kick things over to Emily, if that's all right, and talk a little bit about how your research with workers on the ground out of the archive has presented new ways or its alternative ways of seeing, or can constitute an alternative way of seeing in itself.
E
9:51Emily CunniffeGUEST
Uh, that's a great link between our, our work 'cause I think law, uh, sits a bit strangely within this, uh, discussion.
E
9:58Emily CunniffeGUEST
But, um, yes, so for context, my PhD looks at, um, migrant workers' rights in the context of a just transition.
E
10:05Emily CunniffeGUEST
So I primarily look at EU law, and then it's, it's socio-legal in that I talk to people on the ground to understand how they experience law, what does it mean to them, where are the gaps, where are they kind of falling through, uh, the protections that are there.
E
10:17Emily CunniffeGUEST
Um, and I suppose when I really first came to this, I remember I was in Brussels for a few months at the start of my PhD, and I was in, uh, a discussion with kind of the leading trade unions there, and they were kind of complaining about the farmers who are out in the streets in Brussels blocking a lot of the, the roads into key institutions.
E
10:35Emily CunniffeGUEST
And, and they, they were talking about how these farmers don't really understand the issues facing, uh, Europe in terms of climate change, in terms of environmental degradation.

So perhaps for another one of our panelists, what kinds of labor are, are either our leaders or institutions or corporations sort of discounting right now?
