#76 What do we all get wrong about migration, Milda Zilinskaite?
Wednesday, 4 February, 2026

In this episode, I am hosting Milda Žilinskaitė, Senior Scientist and Director at WU Vienna's STaR Competence Center, to mythbust persistent migration narratives. We explore why migration myths endure despite contrary evidence, what the role of academia is for countering them, and how migration can be reframed through emotional, human-centered approaches and direct encounters. And Milda shares how she navigates her role as both a migration researcher and a migrant in Austria.
