The Role of the Catholic Church in the Global Governance of Migration

Join us for a talk with Dr. Sara Silvestri, currently Senior Lecturer in International Politics at City, University of London, where she teaches religion and politics and EU politics. She is also an Affiliated Lecturer with POLIS , University of Cambridge and Bye Fellow of St Edmund’s College, where she is a research associate with the Von Huegel Institute. This talk presents her most recent research project, exploring the relevance of Catholic Social Teaching in the mobilisation of Catholic charities working in the field of migration in the UK.  It considers the extent to which the Church works within and simultaneously challenges the rationale and the assumptions driving policy makers and institutions working in this sector.
