Darshan Vigneswaran

In a period where migration scholars ought to be turning people away at the door, they are struggling to have their voices heard in a rapidly shifting debate. This podcast on migration and politics aims to generate theoretically and politically engaged discussion on the relationships between human mobility, space and power.

Race still determines one’s access to capital and resources, and because white nationals and
