Poverty, Insecurity & Migration: Reducing COVID-19 Risks and Vulnerability | SOAS Festival of Ideas

SOAS has an international reputation for conducting ethical, long-term social science field work and this is of vital importance in the Covid-19 crisis. In the global south many are not able to settle and millions move in search of diversified livelihoods in order to survive. With Covid-19 these mobile populations are viewed with fear and suspicion and the long-term research findings from SOAS are necessary to demonstrate how such groups are exploited and to propose solutions to their dilemmas and to the Covid-19 challenges.

The Panelists include:

Professor Laura Hammond
Dr Aicha Belkadi
Dr Sreya Banerjea
Professor Jonathan Goodhand
Professor Alison Scott-Baumann
These panelists will discuss their research and its added significance in times of pandemic.
