DESCRIPTION:An Oppenheimer Chair Brown Bag Lunch Seminar with\nEkaterina Ya
 hyaoui-Krivenko.\nAbstract\nThe presentation will analyze the Canadian pri
 vate sponsorship\nprogram in light of the ideas on sovereignty and hospita
 lity\ndeveloped by Jacques Derrida. The speaker will demonstrate how the\n
 private sponsorship program not only resolves certain tensions\nexisting b
 etween state sovereignty and refugee protection\, but also\nopens up new s
 paces for settlement and refuge\, which can be\nimagined independently of 
 state territory and sovereignty.\nThe speaker will argue that individuals 
 can be bearers of an\nother sovereignty distinct from that of states and i
 mplement\ninternational obligations in the area of refugee and human right
 s\nlaw more efficiently than states. The operation of this distinct\nsover
 eignty also allows an approximation to the unconditional\nhospitality as d
 efined by Jacques Derrida.\nThe speaker will further demonstrate that the 
 private\nsponsorship program should be regarded as more than just an\ninte
 resting way of implementing States' obligations. It is also an\nopportunit
 y for innovative developments in international law that\ncould provide a h
 uman face to migration and allow a greater number\nof people to access the
  protection to which they are entitled. For\nthis reason\, the program nee
 ds increased visibility and support as\nwell as continuous reinvigoration 
 despite restrictive governmental\npolicies.\nAbout the speaker.\nEkaterina
