Mobility, Work, and Rights: The I-CLAIM Podcast
The I-CLAIM Podcast explores the realities of irregular migration in Europe, challenging widespread misconceptions.
Migration today is increasingly restricted, with legal pathways narrowing, leaving many to navigate irregularity. But irregularity isn’t just a legal issue—it’s also shaped by the politics, narratives, and practices of various actors at national and international levels.
In this podcast, the hosts discuss fundamental questions, such as: What is irregular migration? And who is considered an irregular migrant? The podcast aims to break down public and political narratives, offering fresh perspectives on one of today’s most pressing issues.
The series draws on the I-CLAIM study (www.i-claim.eu), which seeks to understand and improve the living and working conditions of irregularized migrant families across Europe. The podcast is produced and hosted by Nando Sigona, a sociologist at the University of Birmingham, and Ilse van Liempt, a human geographer at Utrecht University.
