Immigrants and refugees: how does the media shape our opinions?

Have you ever wondered why immigration is such a contentious issue when it's discussed in the news or on social media?

Part of Dr Nour Halabi's work at Aberdeen is to help students understand how to think critically about what they read, hear and watch.

Nour is an interdisciplinary fellow in the Department of Politics and International Relations, and the author of Radical Hospitality. She explores the role and impact of the media in our everyday lives – particularly when it comes to conversations about immigration and refugees.
