Podcast
The Migration Oxford podcast is created by Migration Oxford. Its aim is to bring together researchers and other observers to address the major migration issues of our time, both in UK and internationally, inform and influence public debate and policy considerations, and to connect with people who want to engage more deeply with issues of human movement. For more information see the Migration Oxford webpage.
For several decades, researchers based at the University of Oxford have been addressing one of the most compelling human stories; why and how people move. Combining the expertise of the Centre on Migration Policy and Society, the Refugee Studies Centre, Border Criminologies in the Department of Law, the Transport Studies Unit in the School of Geography and the Environment, and scholars working on migration and mobility from across divisions and departments, the University has one the largest concentrations of migration researchers in the world. We all come together at Migration Oxford.
