Migration futures: Imagining migration governance in 2050
Migration futures: Imagining migration governance in 2050
À propos de ce podcast
Migration is a complex phenomenon – for individuals, it is a personal journey that can result in struggle or triumph depending on life circumstances; and for countries, it can be an economic driver, or a source of social tension or even conflict.
Host Maggie Perzyna, Toronto Metropolitan University, explores the complexity of migration with the help of leading academics and professionals working with migrants on the ground.
Season 5 of Borders & Belonging explores spaces where migration and digital technologies collide. As conversations about AI take over popular discourse, we’re taking a step back to see how the ever expanding menu of advanced digital technologies is being used by migrants, civil society, and governments to facilitate, restrict and shape global mobility.
Settle in for a season of migration tech support.
