SCMR Talking Heads
During COVID lockdown in the UK we had to postpone a number of in-person events. As well as holding seminars over Zoom, SCMR director, Paul, presented a series of 'Talking Heads' for YouTube. Although in-person events are back on, video versions of journal article and book summaries (and other research material) are probably here to stay. So, if you'd like to star in an SCMR Talking Heads video, get in touch! (migration@sussex.ac.uk).

- Nik Ostrand and Paul Statham
In the second SCMR-JEMS Talking Head, Dr Nicole Ostrand and Professor Paul Statham,SCMR, talk about what motivated them to argue it’s time to move beyond the influential “remote control” metaphor in discussions of states’ extraterritorial migration controls. Against “remote control”, their original findings demonstrate liaison officers, foreign states and officials are agents who importantly shape UK policies and outcomes. You can read more in their open access article: ‘Street-level’ agents operating beyond ‘remote control’: how overseas liaison officers and foreign state officials shape UK extraterritorial migration management.

- Marta Bivand Erdal and Ceri Oeppen
In SCMR-JEMS Talking Heads 3, Marta Bivand Erdal (PRIO) and Ceri Oeppen (Co-Director of SCMR) recount the joint intellectual biographical journey that inspired them to want to write on the difficulties of working with the categories “voluntariness” and “forced” at the interface between academia, and the policy and social worlds. Their important (open access) article “Forced to leave? The discursive and analytical significance of describing migration as forced and voluntary” Journal of Ethnic and Migration Studies, 44:6, 981-998, was part of a JEMS Special Issue edited by Jørgen Carling & Francis Collins on “Aspiration, desire and drivers of migration.”

- Ben Rogaly, in conversation with Tahir Zaman
In the fourth SCMR-JEMS Talking Head, SCMR Co-Director Tahir Zaman chats with Ben Rogaly (SCMR) about Ben’s motivations for and thoughts on his new book Stories from a Migrant City: Living and Working Together in the Shadow of Brexit (Manchester University Press 2020). Drawing on over one hundred stories and eight years of research in a provincial English city, Ben asks what that city (and indeed England as a whole) stands for in the Brexit era. He argues for the continuing existence of non-elite cosmopolitanism, a central concept in the book and one that he summarises in a recent free online piece in Discover Society and in his response to reviewers in a symposium about the book in the journal Antipode.
