Recording of the webinar ‘Mobilities, migrants and minorities in dialogue’
HERA’s fifth webinar, hosted by three JRP Public Spaces projects: Cemeteries and Crematoria (CEMI), Young refugees and asylum seekers (EEYRASPS) and Moving Marketplaces (MMP) was held on Tuesday 8th June.
This webinar includes an ‘in conversation’ panel with Dr Yasminah Beebeejaun, Professor Peter Hopkins and Professor Avril Maddrell; a quickfire round of ‘research insights through images’ and 3 short presentations from the three participating HERA projects. This will be followed by an open discussion exploring the theme of mobilities, minorities and public space.
The varied contributions will address the following questions:
• What does the mobilities framework bring to our understanding of public space and migrant and minorities experience?
• Public space and cultural integration: key challenges and opportunities
• How has the pandemic shaped mobilities, migrant and minority experience, and public space?
