Dialogues on Migration_17 Nov 2016 4pm. London School of Economics

This panel is designed to prompt a discussion about research on the move: the challenges mobility poses for fieldwork and analysis, and the scope it offers for creative responses. Researching migration, asylum, and mobility from media and cultural studies perspectives through embodied methodologies requires close attention to liminality, silence, and experiences of dislocation.
