This episode focuses on contemporary migration to the EU, and in particular on circumstances related to Mediterranean crossing. Eleanor Paynter, a PhD student in the Department of Comparative Studies, speaks with Dr. Vicki Squire, a Reader in International Security at the University of Warwick, UK. They discuss what has been termed a migration or refugee “crisis” in Europe. Squire’s work at EU and US borders and her recent collaboration with artist Bern O’Donoghue inform their conversation about issues related to dignity and human rights, and the role of individual narratives in research and outreach.
