This is the final episode of our podcast crossover trilogy.
Migration has been a characteristic of societies for centuries. Humans have always migrated to either escape harsh lives, or in search for better ones, or both. Continuing immigration flows and increasing diversity in many societies have led to more complex processes of belonging and integration, as well as the emergence of cross-border engagements of migrants, organizations and institutions.
In this episode, we focus on the role played by media and communication in the different aspects of migration, ranging from media representations of migrants to the mediated communication exchanges conducted in digital spaces, from interactions between relevant stakeholders in the different levels of migration governance through the political and economic side of migrants’ lives to the role played by hands-on intercultural mediation and digital solidarity projects.
To talk about these topics, Amanda Paz Alencar (Dept. of Media and Communication, Erasmus University Rotterdam) invited Myria Georgiou (Dept. of Media and Communications, London School of Economics) and Earvin Cabalquinto (School of Communication and Creative Arts, Deakin University) – experts on the topic of media and migration.
