Precarious trajectories: understanding the human cost of the migrant crisis in the central Mediterranean
“We are interested in how the closing and fortifying of borders, and changes in search and rescue practices in the Mediterranean have contributed to the loss of life at sea, and through the medium of film and autoethnography to better understand the fears and experience of violence and harm that have driven people to flee their homes in such large numbers,” said Simon Parker, senior lecturer in the department of politics. His team hope to discover three broad outcomes, including how states in both refugee producing and receiving countries can create and sustain the dangers that drive people to undertake “perilous journeys”. They will show how “media framing of forced displacement contributes to public and political responses to the crisis in shaping perceptions of Europe’s own sense of itself as a political, economic and cultural space”.
