Borders & BelongingAuthor: CERC Migration
Migration is a complex phenomenon for individuals, it is a personal journey that can result in struggle or triumph depending on life circumstances; and for countries, it can be an economic driver, or a source of social tension or even conflict.Host Maggie Perzyna, a researcher with the Canada Excellence Research Chair in Migration and Integration program at Toronto Metropolitan University, explores the complexity of migration with the help of leading academics and professionals working with migrants on the ground.Season 4 of Borders & Belonging explores reflexivity: the practice of turning research back on itself to examine how we know what we know.This season draws on the lived experiences of pioneering scholars whose work has transformed how we understand human movement across borders. We then ask each scholar to nominate an up-and-coming scholar they admire, whose research builds on, challenges, or complements their own. Join us as we trace the threads connecting scholarship across time, experience, and perspective.For show notes and transcripts, visit: https://www.torontomu.ca/cerc-migration/borders-and-belonging/Signal Award wins in 2023, 2024, and 2025.

Adrian Favell on Eurostars and Eurocities, feat. Sarah Kunz
Episode 7
Tuesday, 10 February, 2026
Adrian Favell reflects on the ideas and experiences that shaped his work on mobility, free movement and Europe's so called borderless future.He is joined by Sarah Kunz, whose research examines how privilege, race and postcolonial histories shape who gets to move and how migration labels such as migrant, expat and mobile professional reflect power and inequality. Together, they discuss why studying privileged migration matters, how European mobility has changed over time, and how movement is increasing even as access to it becomes more unequal.Guests: Adrian Favell, Professor of Social and Political Theory and Founding Director of the Radical Humanities Laboratory, University College Cork; Sarah Kunz, Lecturer in Migration Studies, University of Essex.🎧 Follow Borders & Belonging on LinkedIn. 🌎 Have a question or episode idea?
