A Comparative Glance on Immigration Infrastrures with Dr. Fiona Seiger

ImmLight of All Circumstances

In this episode, Will is away so Lou sits down Dr. Fiona Katharina Seiger, a researcher at Erasmus University in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. The aim in this episode is to take a few steps back from Canadian immigration and see the bigger global picture of human movement by looking at immigration infrastructures and how they impact transitions, hybrid identities, and human movement. We talk to Dr. Seiger about these issue from a global sociological lens. Infrastructures are defined more broadly here, to capture all tools and implements that the various actors in the world of human migration employ to move from one place to another in the age of a technological revolution and diffusion of information. Dr. Seiger is the host of the Migration Podcast, which is a digital platform for migration scholars from all over the world.
