The topic of migration is one of the most challenging and divisive subjects of our time. Gianluca Palombo from the Institute for Global Health and Development at Queen Margaret University, Edinburgh talks to research colleagues about how we can reframe the topic of global migration, challenge hostility in the media and politics, rediscover our humanity and create a more welcoming community.

In this episode, our researchers will talk about human migration – its history; media and political messaging, what research actually tells us about migration; and how we can build a stronger, more inclusive and welcoming society now and in the future. Sharing their research, thoughts and personals experiences are Dr Arek Dakessian, from the Institute for Global Health and Development at Queen Margaret University, and Dr Hyab Yohannes, from the University of Glasgow.
