We’re delighted to share the latest episodes of the IMISCOE Migration Podcast – now in its fifth season! Hosted by a dynamic group of researchers from around the world, the podcast offers fresh, original perspectives on migration studies. This season, we’re embracing a new format: each episode brings together two guests in discussion about their research on a similar theme. Check out our latest episodes, that bring migration research insights from various corners of the world.
Episode 5 features a conversation recorded live at the IMISCOE annual conference that was hosted in Paris-Auberville in early July. In this episode, you’ll hear Asya Pisarevskaya speak with Andrea Pettrachin and Karolina Łukasiewicz about how cities (and specifically city governments) across Europe respond to migration.
In epidode 6, Liberty Chee speaks with two scholars whose research focuses on musicians who have been displaced from their homelands. Rose Campion looks at what the music industry can teach us about migration policy. We also have Louis Brehony, who, starting as a musician and fan, found his way to Palestinian music and the people who make this art both in the MENA region and around the world.
In episode 7, Silindile Mlilo speaks with Cecilia Schenetti and Rossella Marino to unpack some of the power relations behind the design and implementation of these campaigns, including how migrants themselves are engaged, framed, or co-opted in them. We learn that with the many different actors and conflicting motivations involved in these campaigns, migrant information campaigns are full of contradictions, and our guests argue that they are central to how border regimes are produced, navigated, and contested.
Episode 8 is a guest episode from the third season of the Borders and Belonging Podcast, which is produced by the Canada Excellence Research Chair in Migration and Integration (or “CERC”) at Toronto Metropolitan University. They just launched a new season, called “in conversation”, in which leading voices dive into urgent migration issues shaping Canada and the world.
We hope you enjoy this new format. 🎧 Listen in and join the conversation!
