About the Podcast
Between Borders
Welcome to the Between Borders podcast. We are a collective of researchers who work on different topics relating to precarious migration. We reflect on how people working - or doing research - in this area can better support people who are moving or have moved across borders.
This second season of Between Borders focuses on care, which has become a central theme in migration research and solidarity work, not least since the COVID-19 pandemic. To a large extent, this widespread interest in care has emerged in response to the increasingly uncaring and violent reality of border regimes in the UK and across the world today. Through a series of four episodes, we seek to unpack care through the lens of migration to explore different ways of understanding care, and why this matters for a more just world.
Production and editorial collective (in alphabetical order): Rachel Benchekroun, Megan Crossley, Rebekka Hölzle, Olivia Petie, Franca Roeschert, Olivia Sheringham, Jessie Sullivan, and Giorgia Previdoli (guest speaker in episode 3).
Funding: Thank you to Birkbeck, University of London for hosting and funding the production of Season 2 of the Between Borders podcast.
