Expendable People?: A Human Rights Perspective on the Impact of Global Economic Migration on Georgia

I'm headed to a conference hosted by Emory Law School this morning -- Expendable People?: A Human Rights Perspective on the Impact of Global Economic Migration on Georgia
 
Here is some info on the event:
The sixth annual Emory Public Interest Committee (EPIC) conference, Expendable People?: A Human Rights Perspective on the Impact of Global Economic Migration on Georgia, will be held Saturday, Oct. 17, in Tull Auditorium at Emory Law.

The conference is free and open to the public. We ask that you register in advance. To register for the conference, click here. Practicing attorneys seeking CLE credit will be required to pay a fee. Please see below for more information.

The conference aims to examine the human rights issues that accompany global economic migration. It will focus on three aspects of economic migration: (1) human trafficking, (2) the guest worker program and (3) the undocumented workforce.

We seek to engage conference participants in an open discussion of each of these topics: their causes, incidences and effects—on those directly involved and on the greater Georgia community. The conference will serve as a space where individual, government and community responses to economic migration can be examined and even challenged. Specifically, we want to discuss the relationship between human rights and citizenship.
