Forced Migration Online (FMO) has launched a new podcast series. Initially, it will consist of "discussions between experts on forced migration issues from academia, practitioner organizations and international agencies. In the near future, the team plan to add interviews and life histories of refugees and other displaced people." (Similar to the forced migrant stories reported on earlier.)
The first podcast is a conversation between Roger Zetter, current director of the Refugee Studies Centre (RSC), and Barbara Harrell-Bond, the founder and first director of the RSC. (Read her brief bio here. The complete text of her seminal study, Imposing Aid: Emergency Assistance to Refugees is available through Sussex and FMO's Digital Library.)
Other fora have been established to elicit the views of people who work with forced migrants or who make policy decisions that impact their lives. Examples include:
- AidBlogs aggregates the blogs kept by humanitarian workers around the world.
- Eurasylum offers Monthly Policy Interviews of "leading player[s] in international migration and asylum affairs."
- UNHCR's Q&A is a series designed to give "policymakers, the uprooted, UNHCR staff, academics, aid workers and celebrities [a chance to] speak their mind."
