SUMMARY:Making Migration Methodologies Series: Migrant Lives Online: Practicing Digital Research Methods
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\nMigrant Lives Online: Practicing Digital Research Methods \n\n\n\nDate: Tuesday, June 10th, 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\nFor migrants and diasporic communities, digital technologies are more than tools—they’re lifelines. Social media platforms like TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook enable connection across borders, preserve cultural memory, and even shape new forms of activism. But these spaces are also fraught with visibility traps: algorithms amplify some narratives while shadowbanning others, and platform policies rarely account for the vulnerabilities of migrant users. Studying these dynamics demands both creativity and rigor, as researchers navigate opaque algorithms, fragmented data, and the ethical complexities of tracing intimate journeys online. This workshop explores how to critically and ethically research migration in digital spaces, using hands-on methods to interrogate what platforms reveal—and what they hide.\n\n\n\n\nTegan Hadisi, MPhil candidate, Oxford Department of International Development\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTBD\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
