🌍 New Podcast Episode: In Conversation: Monika Verma on Securitization and the Rohingya Community in India 🎙️
In this episode, Monika Verma joins Ibrahim Efe to discuss her research on the securitization of migration in India, with a particular focus on the Rohingya community. She unpacks what securitization means in the context of migration and examines how the framing of the Rohingya as a "security threat" affects their everyday lives in India. The conversation also touches on the broader political and social consequences of such narratives, and how they shape the lived realities of refugee communities.
🎧 I invite you to listen to the episode and join the conversation on this important issue.

🎙️ New Podcast Episode: Studying Myanmar in Times of Crises
I'm pleased to share a recent conversation I had with Prof. Kristina Kironska, moderated by Prof. Julie Yu-Wen Chen (University of Helsinki), on the Nordic Asia Podcast. In the episode, "Studying Myanmar in Times of Crises," we explore the ethical, emotional, and practical challenges of conducting research on Myanmar amidst ongoing political and humanitarian turmoil. It was a deeply reflective discussion on what it means to be a scholar during times of crisis — and how we navigate the responsibilities that come with it. A heartfelt thank you to Prof. Julie Yu-Wen Chen for moderating with such care, and to the Nordic Asia Podcast for offering a space to reflect on these pressing issues.
