What you should know about migration! (UM Star Lectures 2023)
Prof. Dr. Melissa Siegel, UNU-MERIT
What you should know about migration!
The topic of migration is plagued by misconceptions and misinformation. In her lecture, Dr. Siegel will discuss what we all actually should know about migration - from understanding who is considered a migrant, to where migrants and specifically refugees are being hosted and where they are coming from. Furthermore, she will discuss common misconceptions about migrants as individuals and groups, as well as how migration and development interact.
