CSE Hosts Event on Brexit, Citizenship, & Human Rights
On April 13, 2021, the Center for the Study of Europe (CSE), an affiliated center of the Frederick S. Pardee School of Global Studies at Boston University, hosted an event exploring the impact of Brexit on residency rights of non-European Union (EU) nationals and how this affects the rights of EU citizens.
During the webinar, Iyiola Solanke, Professor in Law at the School of Law at the University of Leeds, described the hostile environment in the UK, the impacts of Brexit and the pandemic, the legislative and judicial responses, and finally, the EU settlement scheme. Using an intersectional approach, Solanke focused on Zambrano families and how EU law has been used to grant EU rights to non-European migrants in the EU.

The mission of the Center for the Study of Europe is to promote understanding of Europe through its cultural heritage; its political, economic, and religious histories; its art, literature, music, and philosophy; as well as through its recent emergence as a new kind of international form through the European Union (EU). Operationally, the center provides a focal point and institutional support for the study of Europe across Boston University through coordination of teaching missions, support of research, community-building among faculty and students, and outreach beyond the University.
