In this episode, we are joined by Professor Heaven Crawley, a leading expert on international migration and refugee issues. We uncover the driving forces and routes of migration to Europe, shedding light on the motivations behind these movements – from conflict and persecution to poverty. As we delve into the challenges and risks migrants endure, we also discuss the public's demand for information and knowledge while confronting prevailing migration discourse. Furthermore, we investigate the crucial role researchers can play in addressing the demand for understanding. For more details on Professor Crawley’s work, see her book with Franck Düvell Unravelling Europe's 'migration crisis': Journeys over land and sea (Bristol: Policy Press, 2017).
