#60. binaries of migration I. forced vs voluntary
from Buradan Göçerken Podcast · host Serenay ve Ekin: Buradan Göçerken Podcast
When can we call a migration experience forced or voluntary? In our new episode, we take this question seriously and find it harder to answer than the categories suggest. Who gets to be called a 'refugee' , who gets labelled an 'economic migrant', who is left in the status of temporariness and what work do these neat boxes do for the states drawing the lines?We trace the in-between of how constraint and choice tangle in almost every story of leaving, and why the binary so often says more about the systems and legal frameworks that put these categories in place than about why people actually move.This is the opening episode of our series on the binaries of migration. Let us know which other binaries you'd be curious to deconstruct.contact us via: [email protected] instagram: @buradangocerkenpodcast
