SUMMARY:Making Migration Methodologies Series: Drawing the City: Social Cartographies of Lives on the Move
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\nDrawing the City: Social Cartographies of Lives on the Move\n\n\n\nDate: Tuesday, June 17th, 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 seminar explores participatory and emotional mapping, and social cartography as creative methods in migration research. These approaches help visualize how people understand, navigate, and relate to space—documenting not only routes and geographies, but also places and meanings often left out of expert maps. Drawing on work with migrant communities in India, Colombia, and Italy, the speakers will reflect on using mapping to surface lived experiences of mobility and migration. The session includes a hands-on exercise to demonstrate how these tools can be used in practice.\n\n\n\n\nValentina Montoya Robledo, Senior researcher in Gender and Mobility at the Department of Geography, University of Oxford\n\n\n\nDr. Valentina Montoya Robledo is a Senior researcher on Gender and Mobility at the Transport Studies Unit at the University of Oxford.
