Migration

The Blurry Lines of Belonging

PODCAST | ep6 | with Talia Shiff, Anna Skarpelis, and Elke Winter

Refugees and asylum seekers often find that the criteria for acceptance change, as states devise rationales to exclude them. Three Weatherhead Center sociologists reveal the motivations behind various immigration policies, from the colonial past to the present, and discuss the ethics and impact of open borders.
