Communicating Migration:<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Migrant Resistance, Resilience, and Activism <\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Migrant experiences are complex<\/b><\/span>. They are characterised by a number of transitions, contradictions, and simultaneities that are not necessarily observable from a single political or economic orientation. Studying the phenomenon of migration in its multiple dimensions can offer a glimpse at how migrant groups interact with state policies and citizenship codes that subject them to violence and exploitation<\/span><\/b>.<\/p>\n

What does the experience of migration mean to those who have lived it? And what can new and digital media offer migrant people in regard to self-representation?<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

To answer this question, the webinar hosts\/features research from transnational scholars in the fields of human mobility, communication, media, and rhetorical studies<\/span> <\/b>who employ diverse research methods to describe how migrants and migrant communities carve their spaces of belonging<\/span><\/strong> in a hyper-nationalist world through storytelling via both traditional and new media communication technologies.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For migrants, developing communication strategies is a vital practice<\/span><\/strong> of finding social connections, navigating the pressures of assimilation, and maintaining links to various cultures. While migrants\u2019 experiences of being subjected as foreigners are similar: they build communities by telling stories, engage in social media activism, protest in the streets, write scholarly criticism, create art projects, and spread awareness about their cultures.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
