This week, Rachael is talking to Pat Cox – reader in Social Work and Social Justice at University of Central Lancashire – about the diversity and inclusion issues surrounding migration.

We effectively live in a world on the move. We are increasingly looking for meaningful work, opportunities, better standards of living and adventure. Migration is undoubtedly one of the overarching issues of the 21st century sparking political and moral debates about nationalism, patriotism and the rights of migrant peoples across the world.

Yet, we still have limited knowledge about the experiences of migrants in the UK. And we know even less about the lived experiences of migrants escaping from torture, war and even the impact of climate change.

Pat shares her insights into the matter, what it means to a reader and the importance of challenging people on their preconceptions and initiating new ways of thinking about migration.
