37th & The World: Bridging the Legal Gap for "Climate Refugees"
37th & The World
10/18/24 • 17 min
As climate change escalates, millions of people are projected to be displaced in the coming decades. However, the people displaced in the context of climate change and natural disasters, colloquially known as “climate refugees,” currently lack formal recognition and protection under international law. To address this gap and explore potential solutions for an international legal framework for climate refugees, GJIA welcomes attorney Caitlan M. Sussman, who spoke about her 2023 article, “A Global Migration Framework Under Water: How Can the International Community Protect Climate Refugees?” All opinions expressed during this interview are the author’s own and do not reflect the views of any past or present employer.

In international relations, cities occupy a rich focal point of migration, economic activities, and other distinctive urbanized social formations. The work of Professor AbdouMaliqu Simone asks us to reposition questions of urban studies through the centering of “Southern Urbanisms,” the everyday ways of living for residents who inhabit cities located in the Global South. In this interview GJIA sat down with Professor Simone to discuss the significance of Southern Urbanisms and how this paradigm can transform how we view social life in cities.

37th & The World: Understanding the Kafala Migrant Labor System
37th & The World
04/10/23 • 59 min
As the eyes of the globe shifted towards Qatar during the 2022 World Cup, media reports focused on the working conditions and deaths of migrant workers building Qatar’s infrastructure and in the Middle East at large. Indeed, throughout Jordan, Lebanon, and all the Gulf Arab states, a system for migrant labor called kafala has been in place for decades. Under this system, states give employers sponsorship permits to bring in foreign workers, which bind workers to their employers and allow for exploitation. To explore the persistence of the kafala problem and analyze the possible avenues for lasting reform, GJIA sits down with Ryszard Cholewinski, the Senior Migration Specialist in the International Labor Organization’s Regional Office for Arab States in Beirut.
