19. Migration with Pat Cox

This week, Rachael is talking to Pat Cox – reader in Social
Work and Social Justice at University of Central Lancashire –
about the diversity and inclusion issues surrounding
migration.


We effectively live in a world on the move. We are increasingly
looking for meaningful work, opportunities, better standards of
living and adventure. Migration is undoubtedly one of the
overarching issues of the 21st century sparking political and
moral debates about nationalism, patriotism and the rights of
migrant peoples across the world.


Yet, we still have limited knowledge about the experiences of
migrants in the UK. And we know even less about the lived
experiences of migrants escaping from torture, war and even the
impact of climate change.


Pat shares her insights into the matter, what it means to a
reader and the importance of challenging people on their
preconceptions and initiating new ways of thinking about
migration.
