SUMMARY:Making Migration Methodologies Series: Embodying Migration: How to do Body Mapping
DESCRIPTION:\nThe Centre for Refugee Studies at York University and the Oxford Department for International Development have partnered to present a unique hybrid workshop series for the Trinity term: Making Migration Methodologies - A Hands-On Exploration of Mobility through Creative Tools.\n\n\n\nMigration is about more than movement—it’s about memory, loss, resilience, and belonging. This workshop series equips researchers, students, and advocates with creative, participatory tools to study and represent migration in more ethical and transformative ways. Across six sessions, participants will learn hands-on methods including photovoice, participatory video, body mapping, poetry, music, digital ethnography, and social cartography. Each workshop combines practical tutorials with critical discussion on how these methods can challenge dominant narratives, surface hidden geographies, and amplify migrant voices. Led by an international lineup of leading scholars, artists, and practitioners, the series explores real-world case studies—from bodymapping fisherfolk displaced by seawalls in the Philippines to Kurdish women documenting musical traditions in Germany. Whether you are a migration scholar, an artist, an activist, or a student, this series will give you new tools to make your research more visual, collaborative, and impactful.Organizers: The workshop series was organized by Dr. Yvonne Su, Abril Ríos-Rivera, Carolina Rota and Tegan Hadisi.\n\n\n\nDates: Every Tuesday May 6th to June 17th (with the exception of June 3rd)\n\n\n\nTime: 3:30pm BST / 10:30am EST\n\n\n\nLocation: ODID Seminar Room 1, 3 Mansfield Road, University of OxfordHybrid: Hosted by the Centre for Refugee Studies, please register: https://yorku.zoom.us/meeting/register/dsT5Yr64QuSSM-4hMbOaVA ( https://yorku.zoom.us/meeting/register/dsT5Yr64QuSSM-4hMbOaVA )\n\n\n\nRegistration: Registration is required for online participation and preferred for in-person.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMay 6th, 2025 - Introduction to Arts-based Methods and Photovoice Tutorial Speakers: Dr. Yvonne Su, Abril Ríos-Rivera, and Tyler ValiquetteModerator: Tegan Hadisi\n\n\n\nMay 13th, 2025 - Filmmaking, Participatory Video and VideovoiceSpeakers: Dr. Amanda Alencar, Dr. Zhixi Zhuang and Dr. Yvonne SuModerator: Tyler Valiquette\n\n\n\nMay 20th, 2025 - Music and Poetry as Arts-Based Methods for Migration ResearchSpeakers: Dr. Helidah Ogude-Chambert, Dr. Cayenna Ponchione-Bailey, Rose CampionModerator: Abril Ríos-Rivera and Dr. Yvonne Su\n\n\n\nMay 27th, 2025 - Embodying Migration: How to do Body MappingSpeakers: Dr. Maaret Jokela-Pansini and Dr. Yvonne SuModerator: Tegan Hadisi\n\n\n\nJune 10th, 2025 - Migrant Lives Online: Practicing Digital Research Methods\n\n\n\nSpeakers: TBDModerator: TBDJune 17th, 2025 - Drawing the City: Social Cartographies of Lives on the MoveSpeakers: Dr. Valentina Montoya Robledo, Dr. Melissa Moralli, Carolina RotaModerator: Vasiliki Poula\n\n\n\nEmbodying Migration: How to do Body Mapping  \n\n\n\nDate: Tuesday, May 27th, 2025Time: 3:30pm BST / 10:30am EST\n\n\n\nLocation: ODID Seminar Room 1, 3 Mansfield Road, University of OxfordHybrid: Zoom link hosted by the Centre for Refugee Studies: https://yorku.zoom.us/meeting/register/dsT5Yr64QuSSM-4hMbOaVA ( https://yorku.zoom.us/meeting/register/dsT5Yr64QuSSM-4hMbOaVA )\n\n\n\nRegistration: Registration is required for online participation and preferred for in-person.\n\n\n\nThis hands-on workshop teaches how to use body mapping as a powerful, arts-based and participatory research method. Drawing on case studies of climate change adaptation in the Philippines and experiences with Long Covid ( https://visualisinglongcovid.org/ ), we demonstrate how body mapping reveals the often invisible emotional, physical, and social impacts of dislocation. In Leyte, fisherfolk mapped their experiences directly onto seawalls—structures meant to protect but that ultimately displaced them—revealing fractured relationships to land, sea, and livelihood. Similarly, body mapping with Long Covid patients allowed individuals to visualize their symptoms and create a supportive community. Participants will learn multiple body mapping techniques and explore how body mapping enables participants to reclaim narrative agency, connect personal and political histories, and challenge dominant crisis logics. We will also help participants navigate the ethical implications of using the body as an archive and the general pros and cons of this approach. Lastly, through a body mapping activity (for both in-person and online participants), we will show everyone how body mapping works and what it looks like.\n\n\n\n\nMaaret Jokela-Pansini, Senior Scientist at the Department of Geography, University of Zurich\n\n\n\nDr. Maaret Jokela-Pansini is a Senior Scientist at the Department of Geography, University of Zurich, and an Honorary Research Fellow at the School of Geography and the Environment, University of Oxford. In her research, she works together with patients, practitioners, artists, policy-makers, and other stakeholders to co-produce knowledge on the ways that people experience illness, environmental pollution, and marginalisation, among others, and the everyday practices to respond to such challenges. Maaret has previously worked in non-governmental organisations and draws heavily on community-based approaches.\n\n\n\n\n\nYvonne Su, Director of the Centre for Refugee Studies, York University\n\n\n\nDr. Yvonne Su is the Director of the Centre for Refugee Studies and an Assistant Professor in the Department of Equity Studies at York University. Yvonne is an expert on participatory, arts-based and digital methods - ranging from photovoice, videovoice to bodymaping and participant-aided sociograms. Her research is on forced migration, climate change-induced displacement and queer migration. She has worked with vulnerable communities in Southeast Asia and Latin America, including refugees, indigenous peoples and LGBTQ+ communities. She has over 30 publications and an extensive portfolio of external research funding, including grants for co-creating photovoice, videovoice, and podcast projects in the Global South.\n\n\n\n\n\nModerator: Tegan Hadisi, MPhil candidate, Oxford Department of International Development\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
