The Podcast for Social Research, Episode 25: Borders, Migration, and Crisis

The twenty-fifth episode of the Podcast for Social Research is a live recording of “Borders, Migration, and Crisis,” a critical and wide-ranging conversation on migration and the present-day immigration crisis: its roots, form, and legal and physical structure, the political, legal, economic, and geographical contexts for migration,  and alternatives to the status quo.
