Xenophobic Discrimination
Professor Shreya Atrey, Bonavero Institute of Human Rights, University of Oxford
The seminar presents a general account of xenophobic discrimination in international law. It shows that the dominant grounds-based approach to addressing xenophobic discrimination as (i) racial discrimination and (ii) discrimination based on nationality or citizenship, fails to capture what is wrong about xenophobic discrimination. Likewise, the suggestion to address xenophobic discrimination via a dedicated ground like foreignness may also fail given the unique character of foreignness as in turn constructed by other grounds. Instead, xenophobic discrimination can be understood as a sui generis category of discrimination which is not necessarily based on a particular ground, but which leads to the particular harm of making people appear as foreigners or outsiders to the political community of a nation-state. The articles discussed thus proposes a shift away from a grounds-based to a harm-based approach to discrimination in international law.

Focusing In on Life Course Processes to Understand How Racism Patterns Racial/Ethnic Inequities in Health
Professor Laia Becares, King’s College London
Ethnic inequalities in health are entrenched and persistent in the UK. This seminar explores the role of racism, experienced over the life course, in structuring ethnic inequalities in health in later life. Anchored around key tenets of life course theory, this presentation will discuss findings from recent and upcoming publications that centre racism as the root cause of ethnic inequalities, exploring life course mechanisms that pattern stark ethnic inequities in later life.
