Final Season 2 episode of Contraelite! (Apologies for having taken such a long time to get these out, but life happens, guys!)
On today's episode, we get deep into international migration and global historical trends that lay the foundations for current political issues, and to provide an excellent and expert analysis on these issues, we are joined by Dr. Eglė Verseckaitė Grzeskowiak, who earned her Ph.D in political science at the Johns Hopkins University, after completing her master's and bachelor's degrees at Vilnius University Institute of International Relations and Political Science. She is currently a Senior Lecturer at ISM University of Management and Economics in Vilnius, Lithuania. In addition to teaching in universities, she has worked for a governmental institution, a think tank and a political party. Dr. Verseckaitė Grzeskowiak has a special graduate certificate in Racism, Immigration and Citizenship and gives public lectures on migration issues.
If you know us, you know we have special love for Lithuania, so you know we were happy as a clam to have the opportunity to chat with our guest!
Why are people migrating from so many different places, and what's up with the similar yet negative reaction from host countries, who historically may have had a direct role in causing these push-pull factors? What's capitalism's influence on all this? And had you even heard of homo sovieticus?
