Documenting the humanitarian migration crisis in the Mediterranean
Despite the urgency of the migration crisis – nearly 2,000 people have died trying to cross the Mediterranean since the start of 2015 – and the attention that it has received, little is known about migrants’ experiences. Agencies hold quantitative records on arrivals in Italy, yet no database exists that offers a comprehensive picture. Consequently, society lacks thorough understanding of questions such as: who are the migrants?, where do they seek to go? and how are they governed along the way? This project will find answers and in doing so, untangle the category of “mixed migration” flows – the prevailing means to describe the experiences and governmental practices associated with migrant journeys. Understanding this is crucial for the development of an effective response to the crisis. The team will build a database offering a quantitative and qualitative picture of migrants and the ways they are governed en route.
