Dr Marija Jovanovic, Senior Lecturer in Law at the University of Essex, will discuss 'The UK’s Immigration Legislation and a Hierarchy of Modern Slavery Victimhood'. Dr Jovanović's research focuses on modern slavery and the way it interacts with different legal regimes, such as human rights law, criminal law, labour law, immigration law, international trade law, and business regulation. Recent work includes a legal analysis of the compatibility of the Rwanda Treaty and Act 2024 and Illegal Migration Act 2023 with the UK’s international obligations.
