This interdisciplinary workshop examines how legal knowledge on interracial marriages between Europe and the Global South was produced, circulated and operationalised across imperial and post-imperial contexts from 1900 to the present — foregrounding the role of experts, state institutions, civil society and couples in shaping marital and migratory boundaries over the longue durée.
